1905 East London Daily Disp. (S. Afr.) 6 Nov. 7/4 Judging by the enormous incisors, and the perfect pavement of rounded molars with which the jaws of these white steenbras are armed, these fish live largely upon shell-fish, hence the local name mussel cracker and the Durban name mussel crusher.

1951 Cape Times 7 Feb. 2/5 Twenty-five mussel-crackers and ten blou stompkop were landed.

1955 C. Horne Fisherman's Eldorado 89 The musselcracker is the fish which is also known to Western Province anglers as sand stompkop, the white musselcracker or the white biskop.

1973 Standard Encycl. Southern Afr. VIII. 14/1 The musselcracker or mussel-crusher (Cymatoceps nasutus) is one of the best-known angling fishes in South Africa... Their flesh is coarse, but the head is a delicacy. The young are silvery, yellow and black; the adults are dark, and develop a curious fleshy nose.

1981 A. Fugard Lesson from Aloes II. 62 By then the fish had had it... He pulled it in hand over hand. A thirty pound mussel-cracker!

1993 R. Van der Elst Guide to Common Sea Fishes 346 The black musselcracker is a large, solitary species.
