鲢属(Hypophthalmichthys)是鲤科下的一个属,下含三个种。其名称Hypophthalmichthys来自希腊语ὑπό(下)、ὀφθαλμός(眼睛)和ἰχθῦς(鱼),意即“眼睛在下的鱼”,因为鲢鱼的眼睛确实在嘴巴所处水平线之下。
鲢属的鱼也被称作大头鱼,不过具体来说它应该是指鲢属下的鳙鱼。
种
该属下的种包括:[1]
- 大鳞鲢(Hypophthalmichthys harmandi Sauvage, 1884)
- 鲢鱼(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Valenciennes, 1844))
- 鳙鱼(Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (J. Richardson, 1845))
