Milkfish The milkfish ("Chanos chanos") is the sole living species in the family Chanidae. However, there are at least five extinct genera from the Cretaceous.
Gonorynchiformes The Gonorynchiformes are an order of ray-finned fish that includes the important food source, the milkfish ("Chanos chanos", family Chanidae), and a number of lesser-known types, both marine and freshwater.
Threadfin In some species, such as the royal threadfin ("Pentanemus quinquarius"), the thread-like rays may extend well past the tail fin. This feature explains both the common name threadfin and the family name Polynemidae, from the Greek "poly" meaning "many" and "nema" meaning "filament". Similar species, such as the mullets (family Mugilidae) and milkfish (family Chanidae) can be easily distinguished from threadfins by their lack of filamentous pectoral rays.
Ostariophysi Ostariophysi is the second largest teleost superorder. Ostariophysians includes five major lineages and is a very diverse group. As of 2006 (Nelson), the five orders contain 1,075 genera in 64 families and about 7,931 species, which is about 28% of all known fish species. The four largest families in this group (Cyprinidae, Characidae, Loricariidae, and Balitoridae) include 4,656 species, over half (59%) of ostariophysian species. Cyprinidae itself is the largest fresh water fish family and the largest family of vertebrates after Gobiidae. Ostariophysians account for about 68% of all freshwater species; in fact, there are only about 123 marine species (Chanidae, Gonorynchidae, most Ariidae, about half of Plotosidae). They are present on all continents and major land masses except Antarctica, Greenland, and New Zealand.
