a genus of fishes (Belone) found in most temper ate and tropical seas, and recognized by their long, slender, com pressed and silvery body, and by their jaws being produced into a long, pointed, bony and sharply-toothed beak. About 5o species are known, some attaining a length of 4 or 5ft. One species is common on the British coasts, and is well known by the name of "long-nose." The green bones deter many people from eating this wholesome food. The skipper (Scomberesox) and half-beak (Hemirhamphus), in which the lower jaw only is prolonged, are fishes akin to the gar-pikes.
