Paddlefish is the common name for the ray-finned fish. It is characterised by an

elongated, paddle-like snout with minute barbels, a large mouth with minute teeth
and along gill rakers.
There are only two modern species of these fish, i.e. the plankton-feeding
American paddlefish ( Polyodon spathula ) and the piscovorous Chienese
paddlefish (Psephurus gladius).
Paddlefish are not closely related to sharks. However, they have several body parts
that resemble those of sharks such as their skeletons and deeply forked heterocercal
tail fins.
Paddlefish provide important economic, ecological and aesthetic values. During
the last century, paddlefish and sturgeon have been commercially exploited for
their eggs (roe) called caviar. Paddlefish and sturgeon are two of the most
important fish for freshwater caviar. Their unique shapes and large sizes also add
