Zenarchopteridae
Dermogenys sumatrana
The Zenarchopteridae are a family -like garfish ( Beloniformes ) fish from freshwater and brackish waters of Southeast Asia. They are small, 3.6 to 19 centimeters long, elongated fish whose lower jaw is greatly extended. The fins are small, dorsal and anal fin sit, as with many shock robbers far back on the body. They mainly eat insects and their larvae from the surface of their home waters.
Reproduction
The fish have as the viviparous tooth carp ( Poecilinae ) internal fertilization. The anal fin of the male is modified into a copulatory organ andropodium mentioned. Three genera ( Dermogenys, Hemirhamphodon, and Nomorhamphus ) are viviparous, others lay fertilized eggs.
System
The Zenarchopteridae have been counted as a family to the Halbschnäblern ( Hemiramphidae ). However, a phylogenetic study of 2004 rejects the monophyly of Hemiramphidae. The Zenarchopteridae win family status and are the sister group of the garfish ( Belonidae ). The remaining Halfbeak are closer to the flying fish ( Exocoetidae ).
