👉 Aphanopus is a genus of fish belonging to the family Anopidae, which includes some of the most widely distributed and diverse families within the class Chondrichthyes. The specific name "aphanopsis" refers to the presence of two prominent spots on their body, which are known as the "spines". These spines are characterized by a series of small, distinctive bars or scales that extend from the middle back and down towards the tail.
