Notopogon
The bellowfishes or bellowsfishes are fishes in the genus Notopogon in the family Centriscidae.[1] They are found in deeper parts of the temperate southern oceans, although the longspine bellowfish has been recorded as far north as New Caledonia and Madagascar.[2] According to FishBase, they are part of the family Centriscidae, but some authorities split that family, in which case the genus Notopogon is in the family Macroramphosidae. They have a long second spine on the dorsal fin and a tiny mouth at the tip of a greatly elongated snout. The body is relatively high (giving them a somewhat hunchbacked appearance) unlike the related snipefishes. They reach a maximum length of approximately 34 centimetres (13 in), and are silvery or reddish in colour.
Species
There are currently five recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Notopogon armatus (Sauvage, 1879)
- Notopogon fernandezianus (Delfín, 1899) (Orange bellowfish)
- Notopogon lilliei Regan, 1914 (Crested bellowfish)
- Notopogon macrosolen Barnard, 1925 (Longsnout bellowfish)
- Notopogon xenosoma Regan, 1914 (Longspine bellowfish)
