Teleost fishes account for 96% of all fish species and exhibit a spectacular variety of body forms. Teleost lineages range from deep bodied to elongate (e.g., eels, needlefish), laterally compressed (e.g., ribbonfish) to globular (e.g., pufferfish), and include uniquely shaped lineages such as seahorses, flatfishes, and ocean sunfishes. Adaptive body shape convergence within fishes has long been hypothesized but the nature of the relationships between fish form and ecological and environmental variables remain largely unknown at the macroevolutionary scale. To facilitate the investigation of the interacting factors influencing teleost body shape evolution we measured eight functionally relevant linear traits on adult-sized specimens along with specimen mass. Linear measurements of standard length, maximum body depth, maximum fish width, lower jaw length, mouth width, head depth, minimum caudal peduncle depth, and minimum caudal peduncle width were taken in millimeters with calipers, or tape measures for oversized specimens. We measured these traits on a total of 16,523 specimens (1–3 specimens per species) at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and took approximately 7000 person hours of data collection to complete. The data went through a three-step error-checking process to clean and validate the data and then species averages were calculated. We present the complete specimen data set, which encompasses approximately one-fifth of extant teleost species diversity, spanning ~90% of teleost families and ~96% of orders. The species and family names are compatible with the taxonomy used by FishBase and the order information with the phylogenetically informed taxonomy of Betancur-R and colleagues published in 2014.

FishShapes v1：硬骨鱼类形状和大小在三个维度上的功能相关测量

硬骨鱼类占所有鱼类的 96%，并展现出多种多样的体型。硬骨鱼类的谱系范围从深体到细长（例如鳗鱼、针鱼）、横向压缩（例如带鱼）到球状（例如河豚），并且包括形状独特的谱系，例如海马、比目鱼和翻车鱼。长期以来一直假设鱼类体内的适应性体形收敛，但在宏观进化尺度上，鱼类形态与生态和环境变量之间关系的性质在很大程度上仍然未知。为了便于研究影响硬骨鱼类体型进化的相互作用因素，我们测量了成人大小标本的八个功能相关的线性特征以及标本质量。标准长度、最大体深、最大鱼宽的线性测量，下颌长度、嘴巴宽度、头部深度、最小尾柄深度和最小尾柄宽度用卡尺或卷尺测量超大标本的毫米数。我们在史密森尼国家自然历史博物馆的总共 16,523 个标本（每个物种 1-3 个标本）上测量了这些特征，并花费了大约 7000 人小时的数据收集来完成。数据经过三步错误检查过程以清理和验证数据，然后计算物种平均值。我们提供了完整的标本数据集，其中包含大约五分之一的现存硬骨鱼物种多样性，涵盖约 90% 的硬骨鱼科和约 96% 的目。
