The blackfin waryfish (Scopelosaurus lepidus) is a species of fish in the family Notosudidae (waryfish). [3] [4]
The blackfin waryfish is pinkish black in colour, with the pectoral fins having a large black patch covering their basal two-thirds and a white distal stripe. [5] [6] It has a maximum length of 36.4 cm (14.3 in) and 59 or 60 vertebrae. [7]
The blackfin waryfish lives in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is benthopelagic and oceanodromous, living at depths of 70–2,500 m (230–8,200 ft). [8]
The young feeds on copepods while the adults feed on euphausiids, hyperiids and mesopelagic fish. [9] Spawning occurs in midwater far offshore, including in the Sargasso Sea. [10] It is eaten by Sebastes (ocean perch). [7]
The bigeye sand tiger is an extremely rare species of mackerel shark in the family Odontaspididae, with a possible worldwide distribution. A large, bulky species reaching at least 3.6 m (12 ft) in length, the bigeye sand tiger has a long bulbous snout, large orange eyes without nictitating membranes, and a capacious mouth with the narrow teeth prominently exposed. It can be distinguished from the similar smalltooth sand tiger by its teeth, which have only one lateral cusplet on each side, and by its uniformly dark brown color.
The blackfin tuna is a species of tuna in the family Scombridae. It is occasionally referred to as the Bermuda tuna, blackfinned albacore, or deep bodied tunny. They are the smallest tuna species in the genus Thunnus, generally growing to a maximum of 100 cm (39 in) in length and weighing 21 kg (46 lb).
