Crenidens
Crenidens is a small genus of one or two species of seabream from the family Sparidae from the western Indian Ocean. It was previously regarded as monotypic, with the sole species being the Karenteen sea bream Crenidens crenidens but the little known Crenidens macracanthus was proposed as separate species in 2013, although it is known from only two specimens.

Species
A single species is currently recognised[1] but a second has been proposed, as well as possibly raising C.c. indicus to specific status.[2]

gollark: Ah, convolutional neural networks, how convolutional.
gollark: I'm reminded of that study involving a dead fish being fMRIed.
gollark: I will go read the actual paper.
gollark: Not that they actually mention any of the statistical stuff at all, but ideological things being associated a lot with two of the tasks is odd.
gollark: This *does* look p-hacked or something.
