Most are specialized for bottom dwelling, with a dorsoventrally flattened body and greatly enlarged pectoral fi ns, which they move in a wavelike fashion to propel themselves Electric rays are sluggish fish with large electric organs on each side of their head. The voltage produced is relatively low (50 volts) but power output may be almost one kilowatt—quite sufficient to stun prey or discourage predators. Subclass Holocephali: Chimaeras • Their jaws bear large flat plates. The upper jaw is completely fused to the cranium, a most unusual feature in fishes. • Their food includes seaweed, molluscs, echinoderms, crustaceans, and fishes—a surprisingly mixed diet for such a specialized grinding dentition. • Chimaeras are not commercial species and are seldom caught. Despite their bizarre shape, they are beautifully colored with a pearly iridescence. OSTEICHTHYES: BONY FISHES Class Actinopterygii: Ray-Finned Fishes
