This is from a technical document on fishing (Spain). It describes certain characteristics of various fish:
Descripción
Radios aletas dorsales: 58 - 60; Radios aletas anales: 29 - 33; Radios aletas pectorales: 14-16; Vértebras: 68 - 69. El surco epitélico ventro-lateral se extiende desde la base de la aleta pectoral hasta la aleta.
Is it the radius of the various fins? Dorsal fin radius, anal fin radius, pectoral fin radius?
Thanks in advance!

fin rays
fin ray: (Anat.) one of the hornlike, cartilaginous, or bony, dermal rods which form the skeleton of the fins of fishes.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fin ray
dorsal fin ray count = enumeration of the dorsal fin rays. In fishes where the smaller rays in front gradually grade into larger rays, these smaller anterior rays are included in the count, e.g. Ictaluridae, Esocidae, Gadidae. Where the first small rays abruptly change to larger ones or where the first small rays are very variable or difficult to count these are not included; the first unbranched ray reaching nearly to the tip of the fin and the remainder of the rays are then counted - this is called the principal ray count. Where the last two rays are closely approximated at the base some authors consider them as a branched ray counting them as one (although they are not really a single branched ray). In fishes where the last two rays are not closely placed at the base, the rays are usually both counted. However some authors again count the last two rays as one. In some studies, only the branched rays of the dorsal fin are counted. It may readily be seen that if published counts are to be of use to others the method of counting should be stated. Dorsal fin spines, when present, are usually enumerated separately from soft or branched rays. The dorsal fin may be comprised of two connected parts, spiny and soft, counted separately, or there may be two dorsal fins, the first spiny.

Spines and rays
In bony fish, most fins may have spines or rays. A fin may contain only spiny rays, only soft rays, or a combination of both. If both are present, the spiny rays are always anterior. Spines are generally stiff and sharp. Rays are generally soft, flexible, segmented, and may be branched. This segmentation of rays is the main difference that separates them from spines; spines may be flexible in certain species, but they will never be segmented.

Las aletas pectorales generalmente se ubican a los lados del cuerpo detrás de la cabeza. Generalmente, las aletas dorsal, pectoral, pélvica y anal llevan radios (rayos) tipo espinas muy fuertes y puntiagudas.
Peces con dos aletas dorsales con radios. Aleta adiposa ausente. En la primera dorsal (a veces oculta en el lomo del ejemplar) los radios (rayos) son espinas duras. En la segunda dorsal, los radios son flexibles.
