Marshall, 1956 }} 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. DescriptionMirapinna 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]EtymologyThe 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] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://eol.org/pages/211339/details | title=Hairyfish - Mirapinna esau - Details - Encyclopedia of Life | publisher=Encyclopedia of Life | accessdate=5 May 2014}} {{Actinopterygii| }}{{evolution of fish}}{{fins, limbs and wings}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q147805}}2. ^{{cite book | title=Das Grosse Buch der Fische | publisher=Eugen Ulmer | author=Wheeler, A. | year=1977 | location=Stuttgart | page=356}} 3. ^{{FishBase |genus= Mirapinna|species= esau| month = August | year = 2012}} Retrieved 5 May 2014. 4. ^{{cite web | title= Mirapinna esau | publisher= Discover Life | url= http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Mirapinna+esau&mobile=close | accessdate= 5 May 2014}} based on Romero, P. 2002, Madrid, unpublished. 5. ^{{cite web | title= Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature: Etymology: Names from Mythology | author= Isaak, Mark | url= http://www.curioustaxonomy.net/etym/myth.html | accessdate= 5 May 2014}} 3 : Cetomimidae|Monotypic fish genera|Fish described in 1956 |
