foreign aid in the identification of fish!?
found a strange fish off the coast of Myrtle Beach, SC Details: approx. 8 "long. Dorsal and lateral fins are soft burgundy, dark brown body was dirty and was cream-colored underbelly. his teeth were small and the lines of iridescent spots along the body (not many, maybe two or three lines on each side of fish). the shape of a tadpole, with a large head, almost leading to a bulbous thin tail. I did not realize a ventral fin. Anybody know what this is? seemed almost bioluminescent points, but I will not assume anything. Was not connected, freshly washed and was dying. Help me please!
That sounds like a midshipman (genus Porichthys). If he was a midshipman, the points that you saw were actually bioluminescence. They are called photophores. ************** EDIT: I edited my response because I realized I was mentioning a Pacific Ocean species, and place mentioned in the Atlantic coast. Sorry! For the Atlantic, a common species is plectrodon Porichthys in the Atlantic midshipman. see data sheet here (with a photograph, but not very good): http://fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=3072&lang=English This is a picture of another species, but I include the link so you can see where the lines of photophores are http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Porichthys_porosissimus.jpg/800px-Porichthys_porosissimus.jpg
