The alpine river galaxias (''Galaxias paucispondylus'') is a galaxiid of the genus ''Galaxias'', found only in mid to high altitude streams flowing from the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It grows to a length of up to 11 cm. Alpine galaxias are speckled olive-green over a light brown base. The single large dorsal fin is rounded, and set back two thirds of the body length, the anal fin a little further back. The caudal fin is large and slightly forked. Like all galaxiids it lacks scales and has a thick, leathery skin covered with mucus. They are non-diadromous and therefore do not have a marine phase and are not part of the whitebait catch. ==References== * * (NIWA June 2006 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alpine galaxias」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
