Eumicrotremus tokranovi
Species of lumpfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eumicrotremus tokranovi is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific, and one of two species some authorities place in the genus Microancathus. It is known from the Kuril Islands. It is distinguished from the closely related E. fedorovi by a taller body and flatter and less developed bone plaques.[1] FishBase does not recognize the genus Microancathus, .[2] This species was described by the Russian ichthyologist Olga Stepanovna Voskoboinikova in 2015 in the proposed new genus, Microancathus and the reclassification of M. fedorovi in that genus.[1] Catalog of Fishes does not recognize the new genus and classifies this species in Eumicrotremus.[3]
