Holcomycteronus is a genus of cusk-eels. It includes Holcomycteronus profundissimus , long thought to be the deepest-living fish in the world's oceans.
There are currently six recognized species in this genus. Many were formerly considered species of Neobythites or Grimaldichthys. [2] [3]
Catsharks are ground sharks of the family Scyliorhinidae. They are one of the largest families of sharks with around 160 species placed in 17 genera. Although they are generally known as catsharks, many species are commonly called dogfish or gato. Like most bottom feeders, they feed on benthic invertebrates and smaller fish. Catsharks are not harmful to humans.
Coryphaenoides is a genus of rattails which is found in all oceans of the world. They are found in deep waters and C. yaquinae, recorded to 7,012 m (23,005 ft), is the only member in the family known from the hadal zone.
Myctophum is a genus of lanternfishes, some species of which, such as M. punctatum are noted for having the Stylophthalmine trait in their larval form.
Abyssobrotula galatheae, is a species of cusk eel in the family Ophidiidae. It is the deepest-living fish known; one specimen, trawled from a depth of 8,370 m (27,460 ft) in the Puerto Rico Trench in 1970, holds the record for the deepest fish ever captured. Although generally recognized, some have suggested that the record-breaking individual might have been caught with a non-closing net and therefore perhaps caught shallower.
Dibranchus is a fish genus in the family Ogcocephalidae.
Vinciguerria is a genus of bristlemouths. It is named for Dr. Decio Vinciguerra (1856-1934), an Italian ichthyologist.

Serrivomer is a genus of deep-sea eel in the family Serrivomeridae. It contains ten described species. Member species are distributed widely, being found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. The smallest species in this genus is Serrivomer jesperseni, which has a maximum length of 40.6 cm; the largest species in this genus is Serrivomer beanii with a maximum length of 78 cm. Most members reach a maximum length of 60–70 cm,
