Canobius (named for Canobie, the district where it was discovered) is an extinct genus of early ray-finned fish that lived in the Carboniferous period of Europe. Canobius was a small fish, 7 centimetres (3 in) in length. Compared with its earlier relatives, it had specialized jawbones and hyomandibulars which attached the upper jaw to the braincase, meaning that the jaws were hung vertically under the braincase. This allowed Canobius to open its jaws wider and expand its gill slits further at the same time. In turn, this meant that the fish could take in more oxygen, making it a more active creature. Canobius is presumed to have fed on plankton which is filtered from the water using its small teeth and gills.

- Canobius es un género extinto de peces actinopterigios prehistóricos. Fue descrito por Traquair en 1881. Vivió en Escocia, Reino Unido. Era un pez pequeño, de 7 centímetros (3 pulgadas) de largo. En comparación con sus parientes anteriores, tenía mandíbulas e hiomandibulares especializados que unían la mandíbula superior a la caja craneana, lo que significa que las mandíbulas colgaban verticalmente debajo de la caja craneana. Esto permitió a Canobius abrir más sus mandíbulas y expandir mucho más sus hendiduras branquiales al mismo tiempo. A su vez, esto significaba que el pez podía absorber más oxígeno, lo que lo convertía en una criatura más activa. Se presume que Canobius se alimentó de plancton que se filtra del agua usando sus pequeños dientes y branquias. (es)
