Teleost - Wikipedia Teleosts range from giant oarfish measuring 7 6 m (25 ft) or more, and ocean sunfish weighing over 2 t (2 0 long tons; 2 2 short tons), to the minute male anglerfish Photocorynus spiniceps, just 6 2 mm (0 24 in) long
Teleost | Anatomy, Adaptations Classification | Britannica Teleost, (infraclass Teleostei), any member of a large and extremely diverse group of ray-finned fishes Along with the chondrosteans and the holosteans, they are one of the three major subdivisions of the class Actinopterygii, the most advanced of the bony fishes
Teleost - Examples, Characteristics, Classification, Pictures Teleosts, constituting the largest infraphylum of ray-finned fishes (Teleostei), are distinguished from other bony fish by their movable premaxilla (jaw bone) and specialized jaw musculature They can protrude their jaws outward, a feature that enhances their feeding capabilities
Teleost - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Teleost refers to the most recently evolved group of bony fishes (Osteichthyes) characterized by rayed fins and a swimbladder, encompassing species ranging from goldfish to tuna and salmon
Teleost Skeletal Plasticity: Modulation, Adaptation, and Remodelling We provide examples about different types and levels of teleost skeletal variability and plasticity Our account is far from being complete regarding teleost species that show known types of skeletal alteration Many more examples from more species can be found in the literature
Teleost Explained Teleostei (; Greek teleios "complete" + osteon "bone"), members of which are known as teleosts, is, by far, the largest group of ray-finned fishes (class Actinopterygii), with 96% of all extant species of fish
Teleostei - University of California Museum of Paleontology Teleosts are characterized by a fully movable maxilla and premaxilla (which form the biting surface of the upper jaw); the movable upper jaw makes it possible for teleosts to protrude their jaws when opening the mouth Teleosts are also distinguished by having fully homocercal (symmetrical) tails

Teleost Fish: Habitat, Diversity Reproduction | Basic Biology Teleost fish are hugely important to humanity as a food source, particularly for their protein – almost all commercially fished species belong to the division of fish known as Teleosts Teleosts are found in almost every possible aquatic habitat from the tropics to polar regions around the globe
