APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water. Superclass Agnatha (jawless fishes) Class Myxini (hagfishes)1 Order Myxiniformes Family Myxinidae Myxine glutinosa, hagfish Class Cephalaspidomorphi (lampreys)1 Order Petromyzontiformes Family

Subclass Holocephali (holocephalans; rat-fishes) Order Chimaeriformes Family Chimaeridae Chimaera monstrosa, rat-fish Subclass Elasmobranchii (elasmobranchs; sharks and rays) 1 Some authorities regard lampreys and hagfish as related ‘cyclostomes’; others do not share this view. 354 LEECHES, LICE AND LAMPREYS Order Carcharhiniformes Family Scyliorhinidae Scyliorhinus canicula, dogfish Scyliorhinus
