Acropoma lecorneti

Acropoma lecorneti is a species of ray-finned fish, a lanternbelly from the family Acropomatidae.

It is found in the western Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded off Japan and New Caledonia.

[1][2] This species was first formally described by the French ichthyologist Pierre Fourmanoir (1924-2007) with the type locality given as north of the St Vincent Pass off the western coast of New Caledonia at a depth of 360 metres (1,180 ft).

[3] The specific name honours the skipper of the fishing boat Thalassa, Monsieur Lecornet, who took the type aboard that vessel.

[2] The fish is named in honor of D. Lecornet of Nouméa, New Caledonia, a fisherman and owner of the boat from which the type specimen was collected.
