Argyripnus brocki, commonly known as Brock's bristle-mouth fish, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Argyripnus found in the Pacific Ocean.[1]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of Vernon E. Brock (1912–1971), an ichthyologist/herpetologist, for his contributions to marine biology and his support of Struhsaker's studies of the Hawaiian bathyal fishes.[2]
