Species of fish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eubleekeria jonesi, commonly known as Jones’s pony fish, is a marine rat-finned fish, a ponyfish from the family Leiognathidae. It is native to the Indian Ocean.[1] This species was first formally described as Leiognathus jonesi in 1971 by the Indian ichthyologist P.S.B.R. James (1934-2019) and its specific name honours James’ predecessor as director of the Indian Central Marine Fisheries Institute in Kochi, Santhappan Jones (1910-1997).[2]
