Cryodraco pappenheimi is a bathydemersal species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Channichthyidae, the crocodile icefishes. It occurs in the Southern Ocean. [1] [2]

The status of C. pappenheimi as a Cryodraco species is unclear. The holotype was deposited in the Natural History Museum, Berlin and has been lost. From descriptions of this taxon, it is possible that it does not belong in the genus Cryodraco. [3]

Channichthyidae Family of fishes

The crocodile icefish or white-blooded fish comprise a family (Channichthyidae) of notothenioid fishes found in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. They are the only known vertebrates to lack hemoglobin in their blood as adults. Icefish populations are known to reside in the Atlantic and Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean, as well as the continental shelf waters surrounding Antarctica. Water temperatures in these regions remain relatively stable, generally ranging from −1.8 to 2 °C. One icefish, Champsocephalus esox, is distributed north of the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone. At least 16 species of crocodile icefish are currently recognized, although eight additional species have been proposed for the icefish genus Channichthys.

Notothenioidei Suborder of fishes

Notothenioidei is one of 19 suborders from the order Perciformes and that primarily includes Antarctic fish and Subantarctic fish, but also a few species ranging north to southern Australia and southern South America. These species, which are referred to collectively as the notothenioids, account for approximately 90% of the fish fauna biomass in the continental shelf waters surrounding Antarctica.
