The barred seabass (Centrarchops chapini) is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a cavebass from the family Dinopercidae, which is native to the coastal waters of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. This fish can be found over areas of sand and rock at depths from 20 to 40 m (66 to 131 ft). This species grows to 30.7 cm (12.1 in) in total length. It is important to local commercial fisheries. This species is the only known member of the genus Centrarchops.[2] The specific name honours the American ornithologist James Chapin (1889-1964).[3]
