Trachinus pellegrini
Trachinus pellegrini, the Cape Verde weever, is a fish of the family Trachinidae. Widespread in the eastern Atlantic along the coasts of Senegal to Nigeria, including the Canary Islands and Cape Verde, also reported from Mauritania, it is a marine tropical demersal fish, up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length.[2] The species was named and described by Jean Cadenat in 1937 and the specific name honours the French ichthyologist Jacques Pellegrin (1873-1944), who worked at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.[3]
