The Stripefin poacher[1] (Xeneretmus ritteri) is a fish in the family Agonidae (poachers).[2] It was described by Charles Henry Gilbert in 1915.[3] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling fish which is known from the eastern central Pacific Ocean, including southern California , United States ; Baja California, Mexico; and an isolated population in the Gulf of California. It dwells at a depth range of 183–366 metres, and inhabits soft benthic sediments. Males can reach a maximum total length of 16 centimetres.[2]
The Stripefin poacher is preyed on by the California sea lion.[4]
