Diaphus rivatoni is a species of lanternfish found in the Pacific Ocean.[2]
Description
[edit | edit source]This species reaches a length of 11.0 cm (4.3 in).[3]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The fish is named in honor of Bourret's friend and colleague of 20 years Jacques Rivaton (1921–2009), of the Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique d'Outre-Mer, New Caledonia, who has devoted much effort to the identification of Diaphus from the Western Pacific.[4]
