Gibberichthys
The Gibberichthyidae, also known as gibberfishes, are a small family of deep sea stephanoberyciform fish, containing a single genus, Gibberichthys (from the Latin gibba, "humpbacked" and the Greek ichthys, "fish"), and two species.[1][2] Found in the tropical western Atlantic, western Indian, and western and southwestern Pacific Oceans at depths of about 400-1,000 m, gibberfishes are of no economic importance. The maximum recorded size for either species is 12 centimetres (4.7 in) standard length.

- Gibberichthys latifrons (Thorp, 1969)
- Gibberichthys pumilus A. E. Parr, 1933 (Gibberfish) (formerly known as Kasidoron edom Robins & De Sylva, 1965)[4]
gollark: Humanbenchmark has a bunch of other things. I have this vaguely weird set of results.
gollark: Perhaps you could try and get a more comfortable keyboard.
gollark: If you blame xorg, try wayland?
gollark: No. As far as I know, at least, load is added more by being in channels than by having lots of people. And if lots of people are in the same channels, this doesn't create much additional load.
gollark: You can live without the missing things, but it's not ideal.
