A marine fish of the Perciformes order, Percidae family (illustration). It is a small fish with a pale pink back and a silvery white belly, and can reach a maximum length of 20 cm. It is well known for having light-emitting organs, and it is said that the name "firefly crab" comes from the fact that this fish glows when crushed to make kamaboko (fish cake). In some regions, it is called akakuchi, kigane, or goso. It is distributed from central Honshu to the East China Sea, the Philippines, India, and South Africa. It lives on sandy and muddy coastal bottoms and feeds on small crustaceans, fish, squid, and polychaetes. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
