}The bonitos constitute the scombrid tribe Sardini, consisting of eight species placed in five genera. They differ from the more primitive mackerels and Spanish mackerels in lacking a notch in the hypural plate and in having a bony lateral keel on the posterior caudal vertebrae. From the higher tunas, they differ in having the bony keel only incompletely developed and in lacking a specialized subcutaneous vascular system. The monotypic Australian endemic Cybiosarda elegans shares several…

Osteology and relationships of the Spanish mackerels and seerfishes of the tribe Scomberomorini [India]
- Environmental Science
- 1977
Evidence strongly suggests the closer affinities of Scomberomorus and Acanthocybium than the affinITIES of other scombrid genera, their common origin from or closer to the ScMnbrini, and the necessity to retain Scombergomorini as a tribe of the Scombridae.

The muscular system in the Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis is studied in detail and the medial fan‐shaped ray was identified as the first dorsal ray, judging from myological and neuroanatomical characters.
New taxonomic synopses and revision of the scombroid fishes (Scombroidei, Perciformes), including billfishes, from the Cenozoic of territories of the former USSR
- Environmental Science, BiologyEarth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh

An overview of all known fossil scombroid fishes of the former USSR is presented, many taxa of which are described in a language other than Russian for the first time, and the application of a cladistic framework for these taxa is applied.
Dinopercidae, a new family for the Percoid marine fish genera Dinoperca Boulenger and Centrarchops Fowler (Pisces: Perciformes)
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 1986
Two features appear to be uniquely derived characters justifying a separate family for Dinoperca and Centrarchops: Frontal bones bearing a high median crest that articulates posteriorly with the supraoccipital crest and is cleft dorsally by a narrow median sulcus extending ventrally to the roof of the brain cavity.
COPEPODS AND SCOMBRID FISHES: A STUDY IN HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIPS
- Biology, Environmental Science

Host specificity ofthe copepods parasitic on scombrid fishes is the basis for an analysis of the host-parasite relationship, and copepod species present on more than one host species have preferred hosts, and indicate tendencies to being host specific.
