I identified each animal to my best knowledge, but mistakes are possible. Please write to me, if you have any questions. Latin names according to WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species) and ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System). For an example of the Taxonomic Hierarchy look at the frogfish.
