Default
Chirocentrus dorab (Forsskål, 1775)
or
Chirocentrus nudus (Swainson, 1839)
or
Trichiurus lepturus (Lin,1758 )

How many guesses do I get?

Ok, I'm going to call it a Largehead Hairtail Trichiurus lepturus and go to bed. Wake me up if I won anything.

DOH! Sorry about that, it was late. Mongabay.com links to Fishbase.org

Here's the link to the fishbase species summary for the Largehead hairtail:

Species Summary

and the Pearly hairtail:

http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...ry.php?id=8666
Species Summary

Hope this helps.

Oh I just noticed...Where I said Lin it should be Linnaeus. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you...

I don't know which is worse, my typing or my spelling. LOL
