Tentoriceps is a monotypic genus of cutlassfish, family Trichiuridae, from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The sole species is Tentoriceps cristatus.[1][2][3] Its common name is crested hairtail.[2]

Distribution

Tentoriceps cristatus has Indo-West Pacific distribution: it is found in the Indian Ocean (including the Red Sea) and in the Western Pacific Ocean, between the Tasman Sea and southern Japan. It is a benthopelagic to pelagic species that occurs in coastal waters 30–110 m (98–361 ft) deep, but avoids areas of low salinity.[2][4]

Description

Typical for cutlassfishes, Tentoriceps cristatus has extremely elongate and strongly compressed, ribbon-like body, tapering to a point. The dorsal profile of head is evenly convex. It grows to a maximum length of about 90 cm (35 in) TL, but common length is 30–70 cm (12–28 in) TL.[4]

Tentoriceps cristatus landed in Dongao, Yilan County, Taiwan

Fisheries

Tentoriceps cristatus is a minor commercial species caught mainly mixed with other cutlassfish in southeast Asian countries.[2][4]

gollark: Oh, and I actually was in creative when I died...

gollark: Possibly, but I want to be able to continue using rockets in survival.

gollark: Otherwise your blood will boil as you go up too far.

gollark: Okay, you need to adjust configs for Up and Down and All Around.
