Ikan Bertangan

The Red Handfish is listed as vulnerable and is under pressure from habitat degradation and collection.

The endangered Spotted Handfish are found on sandy sediments at the bottom of Tasmania's Derwent estuary and adjoining bays.

The Pink Handfish is known from only four specimens and was last recorded off the Tasman Peninsula in 1999.

The Zeibell's handfish is restricted to isolated populations off eastern and southern Tasmania.

Ikan bertangan ini merupakan spesis baru yang ditemui hanya disekitar Timur dan Selatan Australia sahaja. Menggunakan sirip tepinya bukan untuk berenang tetapi lebih kepada berjalan diatas pasir. Unikkan? Dan juga comel. Ikan ini adalah kecil dan ditemui dalam berbagai warna.
