Acropoma lecorneti

Acropoma lecorneti is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae. It is found in the western Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded off Japan and New Caledonia.[1][2] This species was first formally described by the French ichthyologist Pierre Fourmanoir (1924-2007) with the type locality given as north of the St Vincent Pass off the western coast of New Caledonia at a depth of 360 metres (1,180 ft).[3] The specific name honours the skipper of the fishing boat Thalassa, Monsieur Lecornet, who took the type aboard that vessel.[2]

Size

This species reaches a length of 35.0 cm (13.8 in).[2]

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of D. Lecornet of Nouméa, New Caledonia, a fisherman and owner of the boat from which the type specimen was collected.[4]
