The wolf herrings are a family (Chirocentridae) of two marine species of ray-finned fish related to the herrings. Both species have elongated bodies and jaws with long sharp teeth that facilitate their ravenous appetites, mostly for other fish. Both species reach a length of 1 m. They have silvery sides and bluish backs. They are commercially fished, and marketed fresh or frozen. ==Species== * ''Chirocentrus dorab'' (Forsskål, 1775) - Dorab wolf-herring, found in warm coastal waters from the Red Sea to Japan and Australia * ''Chirocentrus nudus'' Swainson, 1839 - whitefin wolf-herring, found in a similar range (This species is difficult to distinguish from ''C. dorab''; the former has a black mark on its dorsal fin. This species is also known to eat crabs in addition to its usual diet of smaller fish.) 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「Wolf herring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
