      \textit{J. Harer} showed in [Topology 21, 263--280 (1982; Zbl 0504.57002)] that the operations of plumbing or deplumbing a Hopf band and performing a Stallings twist on an unknotted circle suffice to construct any fibred link in \(S^ 3\). The aim of the paper under discussion is to generalize a result of \textit{P. M. Melvin} and \textit{H. R. Morton} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 34, 159--168 (1986; Zbl 0576.57008)]. The author constructs a family of fibered knots with arbitrarily high genus which are not obtained by Hopf plumbing on the trivial knot. Moreover, he shows that all knots of the family are obtained by stable Hopf plumbing on the trivial knot.
