Silver trumpeter

The silver trumpter (Latris pacifica) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Latridae, the trumpeters.

[1] The specific name pacifica refers to the only known location this species has been found at in the South Pacific Ocean.

[2] The silver trumpeter has an elongate, compressed body which has a standard length 3.5 times as long as it is deep with a deeply forked caudal fin.

The head and body are largely a uniform silvery grey or silvery brown colour, darker on the upper body with a whitish-grey abdomen and slate grey or light brown fins.

It is expected that this species will be found to have a more extensive range in the central and eastern South Pacific Ocean.
