Paraliparis bipolaris is a species of fish in the family Liparidae (snailfish). [2] [3] [4]
Paraliparis bipolaris is up to 9.2 cm (3.6 in) long. [5]
Its specific name means "of the two poles", an allusion to how it is closely related to Paraliparis kreffti , an Antarctic fish. [6] [7]
Paraliparis bipolaris lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, off Ireland's southwest coast. [8] It is bathydemersal, living at 2,585–3,040 m (8,481–9,974 ft). [9]
