Helicolenus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Scorpaenidae where they are classified within the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes. The species in this genus found in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Taxonomy
Helicolenus was described by a genus in 1896 by the American ichthyologists George Brown Goode & Tarleton Hoffman Bean using Scorpaena dactyloptera as its type species which had originall been described by the Genevan physician, naturalist, chemist, botanist and ichthyologist François Étienne Delaroche in 1809.[1] The genus name is a compound of helikos which means "twisted" or "curved" but meaning “strong” according to Goode and Bean, possibly in error for hadros and oleni' meaning "elbow" or "arm", an allusion to the “strong pectoral fins” of H. dactylopterus.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
