Symbolophorus kreffti is a species of fish in the family Myctophidae.[1]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of Gerhard Krefft (1912-1993) of the Institut für Seefischerei in Hamburg, he being the first to recognize the specimens of Symbolophorus from near the Cape Verde Islands might be specifically distinct from another species Symbolophorus veranyi.[2]
