In most cases the snipefish are pink, silver or red in coloration and grow to be about twelve inches long. |

Some snipefish, such as the ones on the cover, also have a long, pointed spine stretching back from the dorsal fin. |

When a snipefish was recovered from the belly of a rockfish off the coast of Southern California, it was the first found in that region for more than 40 years. |
