Abstract
The urohyal bone is present in most teleost fishes, it´s an unpaired bone located in the cephalic-ventral region and participate in the mechanism of opening-closing of the mouth. In Mexico, the morphological description of the urohyals as their application in the identification of fish is not common, for this reason the purpose of this study is to initiate a registry of urohyals of fishes in Veracruz coast, a comparative morphology is presented for the urohyal of 56 species of fishes belonging to 40 genera and 26 families collected in the coastline of the state of Veracruz. Fishes with an elongated body have a low and elongated urohyal, while other fishes, such snappers, mostly have ribs, the terminal part in lunate shape and evident growth lines, others have a rounded terminal part; the urohyal of croakets present a projection in the dorsal part of the condyle. We concluded that the shape of the urohyal is characteristic in different groups of teleosts, it can be used to classify families, genera and species.
