1 minute read · Species guide
Synchiropus kinmeiensis is a Pacific dragonet recorded from the Emperor Seamount Chain and the Hawaiian Islands.
FishBase names Kinmei and Kanmu seamounts among its localities and describes a bottom-associated life. Collection records include channels. These records concern specific offshore habitats rather than evidence that the species occurs throughout every intervening stretch of Pacific water.
Range
GBIF holds no US occurrence record for this species under this name. That is a gap in the record, not evidence that the fish is absent: ITIS files it as a US species.
