Knightia is an extinct genus of clupeid bony fish that lived in the freshwater lakes and rivers of North America and Asia during the Eocene epoch. The genus was erected by David Starr Jordan in 1907, in honor of the late University of Wyoming professor Wilbur Clinton Knight, "an indefatigable student of the paleontology of the Rocky Mountains." It is the official state fossil of Wyoming, and the most commonly excavated fossil fish in the world. As with modern-day clupeids, Knightia spp. likely fed on algae and diatoms, as well as insects and occasionally smaller fish.

  • Knightia est un genre éteint et fossile de poissons ayant vécu à l'Éocène aux États-Unis, dans la formation de la Green River. L'espèce type du genre est Knightia eocaena. (fr)
  • Lo knightia (gen. Knightia) è un pesce estinto appartenente agli attinotterigi. Visse tra il Paleocene medio e l'Eocene medio (60 - 45 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono abbondanti negli Stati Uniti (Wyoming e Montana). (it)
  • ナイティア(学名:Knightia)は、始新世にあたる北アメリカおよびアジアの河川や淡水湖に生息した、ニシン目ニシン科に属する絶滅した硬骨魚類の属。属は1907年にデイビッド・スター・ジョーダンが確立し、「ロッキー山脈の古生物学における不撓不屈の学生」と呼ばれるワイオミング大学教授ウィルバー・クリントン・ナイトの名誉を称えたものである。ワイオミング州の州の化石に指定されており、世界で最も一般的に発掘される化石魚類である。 ナイティアはニシンやサーディンなどと同じ単系統の科に属し、Knightia alta と Knightia eocaena が元々ニシン属のニシンの種として記載されるほどに近縁である。 現在のニシン科の魚類と同様に、ナイティアは藻類や珪藻、昆虫、ときには小型の魚類を摂食していた可能性が高い。 (ja)
  • Knightia ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Echten Knochenfische aus der Familie der Heringe, die vor allem von Fossilien aus der eozänen Green-River-Formation im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Wyoming bekannt ist. Knightia war ein Süßwasser-Schwarmfisch von maximal 25 Zentimeter Länge und eine wichtige Nahrung für Raubfische. Er wird fossil immer in Massen gefunden. Man vermutet daher, dass sie oft Ereignissen wie etwa Algenblüten zum Opfer fielen. (de)
  • Knightia es un género extinto de peces osteíctios prehistóricos de la familia Clupeidae, del orden Clupeiformes.
