Die Koningklipvis (Genypterus capensis) is 'n gesogte vis wat endemies is aan Suider-Afrika en wat voorkom vanaf Swakopmund tot by Durban. In Engels staan die vis bekend as die Kingklip.
Die kop en lyf is 'n dowwe pienk kleur. Die vis word tot 1,5 m lank en 15 kg swaar. Die dorsale en anale vinne is lank en kom saam by die stertvin. Die bekkenvin is twee dun strale onder die ken en die skubbe is klein.
Die vis leef in rotsareas op die kontinentale bank en die boonste gedeelte daarvan in water wat 50 – 550 m diep is. Die vis is naglewend en vreet bodemvis, skaaldiere en tjokka. Die vis het groot kommersiële waarde.

Der Kingklip (Genypterus capensis) ist eine Fischart aus der Familie der Bartmännchen (Ophidiidae). Der aalartige Bodenfisch lebt an den Küsten Südafrikas und Namibias auf felsigen Regionen des Kontinentalschelfes und des Kontinentalabhangs in 50 bis 500 Metern Tiefe. Er ernährt sich von kleineren Fischen, Kalmaren und Krebstieren. Die Laichzeit ist von August bis Oktober. Jungfische leben in seichteren Regionen als die Adulten.
Genypterus capensis wird bis zu 1,80 m lang und bis zu 15 kg schwer. Er ist orange oder rosa gefärbt. Auf dem Rücken trägt er dunkle Flecken. Die Rückenflosse hat etwa 150 Flossenstrahlen, die Afterflosse etwa 100. Beide Flossen sind mit der Schwanzflosse zu einem durchgehenden Flossensaum zusammengewachsen.
Zurzeit ist noch ungeklärt ob Genypterus capensis und der nah verwandte Genypterus blacodes zwei verschiedene Arten sind.
Genypterus capensis ist ein guter Speisefisch und wird kommerziell mit pelagischen Schleppnetzen oft als Beifang der Fischerei auf Seehechte gefangen.[1] 2004 wurden 12.310 Tonnen vor allem von Südafrika und Namibia angelandet.[2] Von Genypterus blacodes, der ebenfalls als Kingklip vermarktet wird, wurden 2014 30.446 Tonnen gefangen; die größten Fangnationen sind hier Argentinien und Neuseeland.[3]
Sein Fleisch ist weiß, fest, grätenarm und hat einen unverwechselbaren Geschmack. Er ist als Frischfisch auf der Speisekarte in fast allen guten Restaurants der südafrikanischen Kapregion zu finden. In Europa wird er meist tiefgefroren im Handel angeboten. In Andalusien ist der Kingklip unter der Bezeichnung Rosada (de Cabo)[4] ein sehr verbreitetes Angebot in der Gastronomie und auch häufig auf den Märkten zu finden.[5]

Genypterus capensis, commonly known as kingklip, is a species of cusk eel occurring along the Southern African coast from Walvis Bay in Namibia to Algoa Bay in South Africa.[1] It is closely related to Genypterus blacodes from New Zealand. The species grows to a maximum length of 180 cm, a weight of 15.0 kg.[1] It is one of the most popular fish items on South African menus. Despite appearances, it is not closely related to the eels of the order Anguilliformes.
Kingklip occur at depths from 50–500 m, but usually in the range 250–350 m. They are bottom-dwelling and inhabit rocky localities on the shelf and upper continental slope. Juveniles are more often found in shallow waters. They feed on dragonets, mantis shrimps, hake, squid, and various fish species. Spawning usually takes place from August to October. The species is oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass. Their dorsal soft rays number 150, while the anal soft rays number 110. The head and body are normally pink to orange in colour, with dark blotches dorsally.[1]
Andrew Smith, the redoubtable Scots explorer and zoologist, first described the kingklip in 1847 from a specimen caught near the entrance to Table Bay and named it Xiphiurus capensis ('xiphos'=sword, 'oura'=tail). His description was published in "Illustrations of the zoology of South Africa", an account of the natural history objects he collected during his expedition into the interior of South Africa in 1834-36. It was also described by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1858 and named Hoplophycis lalandi.[2]
Kingklip were heavily exploited in the 1980s, and populations have not yet recovered so that some precautions are in place. Being relatively slow-growing and long-lived, stocks cannot sustain the pressure of targeted fishing, and are taken only as a bycatch species. It is one of the economically important species to South African fisheries. The related species from New Zealand, Genypterus blacodes, has made its way to South African markets and is retailed as kingklip. Kingklip's lack of obvious scales has sparked lively and ongoing debate in Jewish circles as to whether it qualifies as kosher or treif.[3]
A 12-month study on larval development in the southern Benguela Current suggested that there are different spawning strategies for the western Agulhas Bank and the West Coast. On the Agulhas Bank, spawning is initiated by a decrease in sea surface temperature, whereas on the West Coast, spawning only occurs when upwelling has decreased, i.e., between June and December.[4] Females grow larger than males in both areas, but are slower growing.[5]
