Histiophryne maggiewalker
Histiophryne maggiewalker,[1] known as the Queensland frogfish, is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae. It is known only from Australia, where it occurs in shallow inshore waters at a depth range of 7 to 12 m (23 to 39 ft). Males of the species reach 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) SL (standard length), whereas females are slightly larger at up to 6 cm (2.3 inches) SL. The species was described in 2011 by Rachel Arnold and Theodore Pietsch from six specimens collected in shallow waters off Queensland,[2] and it is named for Maggie Walker, for her service and dedication to science and education at the University of Washington and the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.[3] References
