Liparis (fish)


Liparis is a large genus of snailfish from the Northern Hemisphere. They are very common in temperate and cold waters. Chernova has proposed that the genus should be subdivided into five subgenera: Liparis, Neoliparis, Lycocara, Careliparis, and Lyoliparis.
The generic name is from Ancient Greek λιπαρός.
