Note 01 | (Macroramphosus scolopax) |
Trumpet fish (Macroramphosus scolopax) is a marine fish of the family Centriscidae.
It is present in the eastern Atlantic Ocean between the gulf of Biscay and South Africa, in the Mediterranean Sea and in the eastern Atlantic, in warm temperate or subtropical waters. Some reports from Somalia are unconfirmed.
It is a characteristic inhabitant of the circalittoral plane and is found between 50 and 500 m of depth, usually between 100 and 250, on mainly muddy or coralline bottoms, often associated with wild boar fish.
Its appearance is so characteristic as to be unmistakable, in fact, in addition to a long tubular "snout" which leads to the small mouth at the apex, similar to that of pipefish or seahorses, this fish has a body of normal proportions, non-threadlike, laterally compressed and without scales.
The eye is quite large. The dorsal fins are two, set back, the first has a long and robust serrated spine, the second is very small. The anal is small and so are the ventral while the pectoral fins are a little bigger. The caudal fin is small, with a slightly concave edge. The body is armed with some protective cutaneous bone plates.
The color is uniformly silvery with pink hues.
It only exceptionally reaches 20 cm.
