This list of fossil fish species is a list of taxa of fish that have been described during the year 2012. The list only includes taxa at the level of genus or species.
A tristichopteridsarcopterygian. The type species is Bruehnopteron murphyi. The species was argued by Parfitt et al. (2014) to be likely junior synonym of Tinirau clackae.[37]
A clupeid fish. Genus contains two species: Illusionella tsurevica and Illusionella pshekhensis. The genus Illusionella was subsequently synonymized with the genus Sarmatella Menner (1949) by Baykina (2013); however, Baykina kept the species I. tsurevica and I. pshekhensis as valid, distinct species within the genus Sarmatella.[52]
Originally described as a member of Merlucciidae and a possible species of Palaeogadus. Subsequently reinterpreted as a stemgadiform of uncertain familial affinities and transferred to the genus Archaemacruroides by Schwarzhans & Stringer (2020).[39]
