Fistularia petimba
The cornetfishes or flutemouths[3] are a small family, the Fistulariidae, of extremely elongated fishes in the order Syngnathiformes. The family consists of a single genus, Fistularia, with four species, found worldwide in tropical and subtropical marine environments.[4]
Ranging up to 2 m (6.6 ft) in length, cornetfishes are as thin and elongated as many eels, but are distinguished by very long snouts, distinct dorsal and anal fins, and forked caudal fins whose center rays form a lengthy filament. The lateral line is well-developed and extends onto the caudal filament.[5]
Cornetfish are found in tropical and temperate marine waters around the world, in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. They are often found in coastal waters over soft-bottomed areas like coral reefs, sand flats, and seagrass beds, where they feed on small fishes, crustaceans, and other invertebrates.[5]
Cornetfish are of minor interest for fishing, and can be found in local markets within their range.[6]
Species
Currently, four recognized species are placed in this genus:[7]
Fistularia commersonii Rüppell, 1838 (blue-spotted or smooth cornetfish)
Fistularia corneta C. H. Gilbert & Starks, 1904 (Pacific cornetfish)
Fistularia petimba Lacépède, 1803 (red cornetfish)
Fistularia tabacaria Linnaeus, 1758 (cornetfish or blue-spotted cornetfish)
