Parapercis haackei, the wavy grubfish, is a fish species in the sandperch family, Pinguipedidae. It is found in the Eastern Indian Ocean around southern Western Australia and South Australia. This species reaches a length of 10.0 cm (3.9 in).[1]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of Johann Wilhelm Haacke (1855-1912), a German zoologist who emigrated to New Zealand and Australia, thus becoming director of the Adelaide Natural History Museum, which provided Steindachner with fishes from the St. Vincent Gulf in South Australia.[2]
