The Dussumier's halfbeak (Hyporhamphus dussumieri), also known as the slender garfish,[2] lives in reefs and shallow lagoons. It is an Indo-Pacific species which is found from the Seychelles east to the Tuamotu Islands, north to Hong Kong and Okinawa[1] and south to northern Australia.[2] They form schools which are found near the surface of lagoons and seaward reefs. The longest known specimen was 38.0 cm in length.[1] This species was described by Achille Valenciennes in 1847 with the type locality given as the Seychelles.[3] The specific name honours the French voyager and merchant Jean-Jacques Dussumier (1792-1883).[4]
