Adrianichthys roseni |
Adrianichthys roseni is a species of ricefish, a member of the family Adrianichthyidae which is endemic to Lake Poso on Sulawesi.[3] Since the holotype was collected in 1978 there have been no reports of this species and if it still exists then it has a very low population. The IUCN categorise it as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct).[1]
This species reaches a length of 9.0 cm (3.5 in).
The specific name honours Donn Eric Rosen (1929-1986) of the American Museum of Natural History.[4]
