Arrhamphus krefftii
Arrhamphus krefftii, the snub-nosed garfish, is a species of halfbeak in the genus Arrhamphus found in coastal waters of Australia from south of Rockhampton in Queensland to Sydney.[1] The identity of the person honoured in the specific name is uncertain but it is thought that it may be the Australian zoologist and paleontologist Gerard Krefft (1830–1881).[2] This species was previously classified as a subspecies of Arrhamphus sclerolepis, and remains so according to some authorities.[3]
