Kamryn Paraliparis abyssorum is a species of fish in the family Liparidae (snailfish). [3] [4] [5]
Paraliparis abyssorum is maximum 11.3 cm (4.4 in) long, [6] and brown in colour. Its mouth is terminal (i.e. pointing straight forward) and small, with simple teeth. [7]
Paraliparis abyssorum lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, to the southwest of Ireland; it was first discovered off the Porcupine Bank. [8] It lives in the bathydemersal zone, up to 3,715 m (12,188 ft) deep, hence its specific name abyssorum ("of the depths"). [7]
Paraliparis abyssorum is a demersal spawner, meaning that it deposits eggs in a pre-prepared nest on or under the seafloor. [7] Its eggs are 3 mm (0.12 in) diameter and have a volume of 14 mm3 (0.00085 cu in). [9]
The snailfishes or sea snails are a family of marine ray-finned fishes. These fishes make up the Liparidae, which is classified within the order Scorpaeniformes.
Paraliparis is a genus of fish in the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. It is found in benthic, benthopelagic and pelagic habitats in all the world's oceans.
Careproctus is a genus of snailfishes found in benthic and benthopelagic habitats in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Southern Oceans. Whether they truly are absent from the Indian Ocean is unknown and might be an artifact of limited sampling. They range from shallow coastal seas in the far north of their range to the abyssal zone, at depths of 6 to 5,459 m (20–17,910 ft). In the Northern Hemisphere they mostly live shallower than Paraliparis, but this pattern is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. Although almost entirely restricted to very cold waters, a single species, C. hyaleius, lives at hydrothermal vents.
