Codlets are a family, Bregmacerotidae , of cod -like fishes, containing the single genus Bregmaceros tropical and subtropical waters throughout the world. They are very small fishes and even the largest, B. lanceolatus , reaches only 11.5 cm (4.5 in ) in length.
Etymology
[ edit ]
Their scientific name is from Greek bregma meaning the top of the head, and keras meaning "horn"; this refers to their occipital ray (a spine emerging from the top of the head).
Fossil record
[ edit ]
Fossils of Bregmaceros are found from the Eocene to the Quaternary (age range: from 37.2 to 0.0 million years ago.). They are known from various localities in Europe , North America and South America .[2]
A potential extinct relative, Bregmacerina Paratethys . It shares close similarities to Bregmaceros in the reduction of the first dorsal fin, but differs in other aspects. It remains uncertain whether it is an actual member of the Bregmacerotidae.[3]
