Description

Macroramphosus scolopax (Linnaeus, 1758).

Longnosed Snipefish, Longspine Snipefish, or Slender Snipefish. To 22.8 cm (9 in) TL (Borges 2001). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Senou in Nakabo 2002); between Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands, southern California (Mary Nishimoto, pers. comm. to M.L.) to Chile (Pequeño 1989). Depth: surface (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), also seen near bottom (Parin and Pakhorukov 2003) to 600 m (1,968 ft) (Fritzsche and Thiesfeld in Carpenter and Niem 1999). Also recently as Macroramphosus gracilis (Lowe, 1839). Mundy (2005) presents arguments for and against synonymizing M. scolopax with M. gracilis.
