URL: http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpl/organisms/fish/marine/sawpalates/longfin.htm

Longfin sawpalates are long, eel-like fishes that grow to a maximum length of 80 cm. They have delicate anal and dorsal fins that start a head length behind the gill opening and run the length of the body. Their pectoral and pelvic fins are much reduced. The characteristic blade or saw-like teeth run in two parallel rows on the roof of the mouth, which is long and narrow. Its overall body colour is iridescent brown to black, but the skin is often lost from specimens that are hauled up from great depths.

Sawpalates (Serrivomeridae) - English
URL: http://www.arctic.uoguelph.ca/cpl/organisms/fish/marine/sawpalates/saw_intro.htm

These eels have some tell-tale features of deepsea dwellers – a lack of scales, translucent skin, and fragility. Although some members of this small family inhabit waters as deep as 6000 m, they can also be found near the surface. Their common name derives from their most distinctive feature, rows of saw-like teeth along the roof of the mouth, in addition to small ones that line the jaws. The jaws are narrow and long, projecting to beyond the eye. The dorsal, anal, and caudal fins are long and continuous, while the tail ends in a whip-like point.
