Hello! I work for my school’s natural history collections so I understand all the laws and have all the permits I need to care for my dead things. This piece is not a personal collection piece but the schools

FLASHBACK:  Newly Described Fish Species: 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas 

While exploring a seamount in the process of being subducted under the Marianas Plate during the 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas expedition, the team made an exciting discovery: This an undescribed species of Pachycara (or “eelpout”), an abyssal fish genus of the family Zoarcidae.

your fave is problematic: zoarcidae

[todropscience]

This eelpout is the 28th species in the genus Pachycara :D

Pachycara caribbaeum is described from specimens collected from an active hydrothermal vent field at a depth of about 2300 m at the Mid-Cayman Spreading Centre of the Caribbean Sea. The new species is distinguished from its congeners mainly by its few pectoral fin rays, low vertebral counts, single, mediolateral branch of the lateral line system and presence of scales on the nape and cheeks.

Eelpouts of the genus Pachycara are found from upper bathyal to abyssal depths in all oceans except the Arctic   The 27th species was recently described from the southwestern Pacific.
