Opisthocentrus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean.
==Taxonomy== Opisthocentrus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1868 by the Austrian ichthyologist Rudolf Kner when he described its type species Centronotus quinquemaculatus from "Pinang", although this was probably De Kastri Bay on the Tatar Strait in the northern Sea of Japan. C. quinqumaculatus has since been considered to be a junior synonym of Ophidium ocellatus which had been described by Tilesius in 1811. The genus is placed in the subfamily Opisthocentrinae within the family Stichaeidae by some authorities, while others treat the subfamily as a valid family, the Ophistocentridae.
