Mataeocephalus is a genus of rattails.
There are currently six recognized species in this genus: [1]
Grenadiers or rattails are generally large, brown to black gadiform marine fish of the subfamily Macrourinae, the largest subfamily of the family Macrouridae. Found at great depths from the Arctic to Antarctic, members of this subfamily are amongst the most abundant of the deep-sea fish.
Coelorinchus is a genus of rattails.
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.
Gadomus is a genus of rattails in the family Bathygadidae.
Bathygadus is a genus of rattails of the family Bathygadidae.
Asthenomacrurus is a genus of rattails of the family Macrouridae.
Lucigadus is a genus of rattails.
Nezumia is a genus of rattails.
Hymenocephalus is a genus of rattails.
Kumba is a genus of rattails.
Ventrifossa is a genus of rattails in the family Macrouridae.
Physiculus is a genus of morid cods.
Gadella is a genus of morid cod. The species in this genus are characterised by the absence of a chin barbell, an anterior dorsal fin with 7-11 rays, a long based anal fin which has a straight profile, the outermost rays of the pelvic fin are filamentous and extend a small distance beyond the membrane. They do not have a photophore. The Gadella codlings are found around the tropical and subtropical seas around the world on the outer continental shelf to the mid continental slope. They are of no interest to fisheries.
Kuronezumia is a genus of rattails.
Malacocephalus is a genus of rattails.
Pseudonezumia is a genus of rattails.
Tripterophycis is a genus of morid cods.
Dicrolene is a genus of cusk-eels.
Macrouroidinae is a subfamily of rattails from the family Macrouridae, it contains only two species in two genera found in most tropical and temperate ocean. These species lives in deep-water. These fishes have a huge and rounded head with the consistency of a water-filled balloon. The eyes are tiny. The chin barbel is absent.
Coryphaenoides woodmasoni is a fish species belonging to the family Macrouridae and the order Gadiformes. The species was described by Alfred William Alcock in 1873 and named in honour of James Wood-Mason. There are no subspecies listed in the Catalogue of Life.
