	Serrasalmus species, Convex Anal Fin piranha unknown
		Whatever it is, I have never seen an anal fin in a piranha with that type of morphology, and still presume that it is some kind of variant (or the result of damage).
		The anal (convex) fin is hyaline with a thin border.
		The caudal fin with a fl band distally to the edge of the fin and the hypural margin is fl with a lighter stripe in the middle.

	Fin Morphology in Gambusia
		Indeed the mean 4:6 anal fin ray index for affected females was 1.5 while normal males and females had an index of 2.5 and 1.1 respectively.
		Anal fin data suggest an association between elongation and exposure to high concentrations of effluent.
		Anal fins of preserved fish were measured manually (ocular micrometer in dissecting scope) and by computer.

	Fins to the Left, Fins to the Right . . .
		Pectoral ("chest") fins are located immediately behind the gill slits, while the pelvic ("hip") fins are situated on the abdomen at the posterior of the belly.
		As its name suggests, the anal fin is located near the cloaca (the shark analogue of an anus), posterior to the pelvic fins.
		These fins are reminiscent of the serial finlets that occur along the tail stalk of mackerels and tunas - fishes renowned for sustained high-speed cruising.

		Pectoral and pelvic fins long, reaching beyond the vent as transition approaches, dorsal and anal fin bases relatively short, caudal peduncle long and narrowing rapidly, procurrent caudal fin rays 5-7 (5, sometimes 6, spindly).
		Then there is a row along the anal fin base, usually four or five, paired and one per side, between the third and eighth element (often merged into a streak on each side)(less common forms have only two or three melanophores along the anal fin base, but there are intermediate individuals).
		The dorsal and anal fin rays and membranes are speckled and there is a prominent patch of melanophores at the base of the lower caudal fin segmented rays (and often a colon-like upper and lower spot) with melanophores extending out along the lower rays.

		Anal fins are paired fins near the tail end of some fish.
		The Sharpnose is a small, slender shark with 5 gill slits, two dorsal fins, an anal fin, no fin spines, the mouth behind the eyes, and nictitating eyelids.

		Pelvic fins thoracic, dorsal and anal fin with spines.
		Anal fin preceded by two free spines (spines may be connected to one another by a membrane in small fish and may become overgrown by skin and flesh in very large ones)
		It is distinguished from the similiar Atlantic silverside by having a shorter anal fin (16 -19 rays) with a curved border, the anterior rays being longer than the posterior ones..

		The anal fin is partly in front of the second dorsal fin and well ahead of the short caudal fin.
		The anal fin is formed as a low rounded keel well behind the second dorsal fin and just in front of the short caudal fin.
		The anal fin is slightly behind the second dorsal fin and just in front of the short caudal fin.

	Measuring Variation
		In fishes, the fins also are formed of repeated parts called fin supports which support the membranes of the fins, and many species of fishes show variation in the number of fin supports.
		The object of our study today is to measure the degree of variation in the number of dorsal and anal fin rays in the fluffy sculpin, and to compare the degree of variation found in the two fins.
		Numbers of fin supports in the dorsal and anal fins may also be related to the number of body segments.

	Guide to coral reef fish larvae: Serranidae, larval groupers basslets hamlets, serranid larvae
		On the dorsal fin there are patches of melanophores on the distal membranes between the third and eighth spines, and there are melanophores lining the distal pectoral fin ray membranes and on most of the membranes of the pelvic fins.
		On the fins, melanophores concentrate on the distal membranes between the dorsal spines and extensively speckled along the pectoral and pelvic fin ray membranes.
		On the caudal fin, there are melanophores at the base of several of the central lower segmented fin rays and a larger patch at the base of the first two or three upper segmented caudal fin rays that presents as a slight upward curve of the main body mid-lateral stripe.

		The dorsal, caudal, and pectoral fins are varying shades of green; pelvic and anal fins are clear to white.
		The upper and lower margins of the caudal fin are edged in white, a useful feature for separating redeye bass from both smallmouth bass and shoal bass.
		Redeye bass have white margins on the upper and lower edges of the caudal fin; white fin margins are absent on shoal bass.

	Fins [text] - Hubbard's Fish Anatomy
		The pectoral and pelvic fins are also commonly used as a means of quickly stopping the fish, controlling pitching (change of position from the horizontal) and to attract mates or startle other fish.
		The anal fin(s) is also not as powerfully as undulation and/or the caudal fin.
		The use of the anal fin(s) for primary propulsion produces the same maneuverability advantages as the dorsal fin(s).

		Fins, like other vertebrate appendages, may serve a variety of functions, and some types of fish can even be identified by the type of fin they have.
		The anal fin starts just behind the anus, so the position of this fin can be used to mark the end of the body or the beginning of the tail.
		In the Moray Eel, the lateral fins are entirely gone, while the elongated dorsal and anal fins are both fused with the caudal fin.

		Additional red pigment is found laterally near the gas bladder, ventrally between the pelvic fin and the lower jaw, behind the head, at the anus, and distally on the anterior anal-fin ray.
		The only erythrophores are at the base of the caudal fin, but a substantial amount of yellow occurs dorsally, ventrally, and laterally in association with the melanophores.
		Additional red pigment occurs at the base of the caudal fin, anteriorly around the body cavity and behind the head, and in association with the dorsal and ventral melanophores.

		Often confused with fl grouper; tail of gag is slightly concave, fl is square; gag has white margin on anal and caudal fins, fl does not; under 10 pounds, gag's spur on preopercle is distinctive, where fl is gently rounded.
		Description: dark stripe (variably present) extends from nose to in front of dorsal fin and "lights up" when fish is in feeding mode; no scutes; soft dorsal base less than twice the length of the anal fin base.
		Description: color graysh-olive with a reddish tinge; conspicuous dark spot, about the size of the eye, below the soft dorsal fin, 1/4 to 1/2 of it below the lateral line; the large eye and caudal fin are bright red; lower margin of the preopercle has prominent spur with strong and sharp serrations.

		Description: The Greater Amberjack has a dark stripe (variably present) which extends from nose to in front of dorsal fin and "lights up" when fish is in feeding mode; no scutes; soft dorsal base less than twice the length of the anal fin base.
		In most cases, the length of the pectoral fins can distinguish each species.
