| The only modern animals that have this sort of structure are skimmer birds and a kind of fish known as a halfbeak, she says. |
|
| The relationships and taxonomic position of the halfbeak, killifishes, silversides, and their relatives. |
|
| There are actually several members of the halfbeak family in Florida waters, collectively and generally referred to as ballyhoo. |
|
| This has been observed primarily among sharks, such as the shortfin mako and porbeagle, but is known for a few bony fish as well, such as the halfbeak Nomorhamphus ebrardtii. |
|
| Florida's halfbeak fishery is highly selective, and only low numbers of flyingfishes and needlefishes are consistently caught as bycatch and needlefishes. |
|
| Halfbeak landings were highest in 1991-92, but have fluctuated considerably between years. |
