👉 Phocodontia is a genus of small, bony fish that belong to the family Phocoecidae. They are characterized by their large, elongated bodies and their distinctive phocodontial plates on their backs. These plates have sharp teeth and can be used for grasping prey or for crushing food. Phocodontia are primarily found in freshwater habitats such as lakes and rivers, but they can also be found in saltwater environments such as oceans.
