Mirapinna esau, the hairyfish, is a species of flabby whalefish only known from the Atlantic Ocean from near the Azores. Formerly considered a member of the no-longer-recognized family Mirapinnidae, this species is the only known member of its genus.

Description

Mirapinna esau grows to a length of {{convert|5.5|cm|in}} total length (TL). Little is known of the fish beyond its appearance. Wheeler (1977) states that only one specimen was caught, near the sea surface, and that it was a copepod feeder.[1][2] The original specimen was captured north of the Azores at 47°20'North, 22°30'West.[3]

Etymology

The generic name is from the Latin mirus (wonderful) and pinna (thorn), for the unusual fins possessed by this fish.[4]

The specific name is from the character Esau in the Bible, who is stated to be a hairy man (Genesis 27:11).[5]
