It is found in tropical South Pacific waters, from Chimbote, Peru, to Isla Mocha, Chile, where it is found at depths from {{convert|37|to|200|m|ft|abbr=on}}. This fish reaches a length of up to {{convert|11|cm|in|abbr=on}}. Common names for the species in Spanish include camotillo (in Peru) and bacaladillo (in Chile). TaxonomyNormanichthys crockeri was first described by the American zoologist Howard Walton Clark in 1937, the generic name Normanichthys being given in honour of the British ichthyiologist John Roxburgh Norman who was taking part in Discovery Investigations at the time, undertaking research into whales and their ecology in the Southern Ocean. The fish seemed to have few affinities with other known species, and a new genus and family were erected to accommodate it.[1]DescriptionNormanichthys crockeri is a fairly slender fish with a maximum length of about {{convert|11|cm|in|1|abbr=on}}, with the anus approximately halfway along the body. It has 1 spine and 5 pelvic fin rays, and 7 and 6 principal rays in the caudal fin. Internally, it has 36 to 37 myomeres (blocks of muscle).[2]References1. ^{{cite journal |author=Norman, J.R. |year=1938 |title=On The Affinities of The Chilean Fish, Normanichthys crockeri Clark |journal=Copeia |volume=1938 |issue=1 |pages=29–32 |doi=10.2307/1435520 }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://epic.awi.de/7594/ |title=Larval development of the mote sculpin (Normanichthys crockeri) (Pisces:Normanichthyidae) from the Independencia Bight, Peru|author=Velez, J. |year=2002 |work=26th Annual larval Fish Conference 22–26 July 2002-Bergen, Norway |accessdate=2015-09-15}}
