Gigantactis kreffti is a species of fish in the whipnose angler (Gigantactinidae) family, first described in 1981 by Erik Bertelsen, Theodore Wells Pietsch III and Robert J. Lavenberg.[1][3][2][4] The specific name, kreffti, honours the ichythyologist, Gerhard Krefft.[4]
The species has seven soft dorsal rays and six soft anal rays,[3] and is found in the territorial waters of Australia, Japan, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, and South Africa, at depths of 500 to 2,000 m.[1] In Australia, it is found in waters south of Tasmania.[2] The largest specimen measured had a standard length of 34.5 cm.[1][5]
