Slatjaw Cutthroat Eel - Synaphobranchus kaupi
This deepsea species occurs throughout the world, off the coasts of Australia, Hawaii, and in the Indian Ocean, as well as ranging north to the Davis Strait. Although one specimen was captured in just 131 m of water, the slatjaw occurs as deep as 4800 m. It is probably most common between 800 and 2000 m. [eng] |

Cutthroat eels (Synaphobranchidae)
This is a small family of eels, with 26 species, two of which are found off the coasts of Canada. These fishes live on the bottom of oceans, at depths from 100 to 4800 m. Their family name is derived from the position of the gill slits, under the head, and below the eyes. The morphology of adults in this group varies, with the number of gills, the size and shape of teeth, and the shape of the snout differing between species. Shared characteristics include dorsal and anal fins that are continuous with the caudal fin, and dark colouration, usually brown, grey, or black. [eng] |
