Range and Identity
Hollardia hollardi occurs from Bermuda and Florida toward northern South America. The repeated form of its scientific name is intentional and should remain intact. Related spikefishes should not be combined with this entry merely because their common names or body outlines are similar.
Habitat and Behavior
The distribution establishes a western Atlantic marine setting but not a complete description of preferred bottom, current or depth. An actual collection should retain those observed conditions. A locality is stronger evidence than filling the habitat with details borrowed from a different spikefish.
Food and Life History
A regional trawl reference supplies an 11.5-centimeter standard-length example, measured without the tail fin. It is not treated as a securely established global maximum. A maximum mass, quantified diet and reproductive timetable were not established in the checked summary. Separate biological facts cannot be inferred from that measurement alone.
Field Note
Keep the full scientific name and measurement method with a specimen record. Both are helpful for a small marine species whose short summaries contain relatively little biological detail.
