Sudis hyalina is a species of fish in the family Paralepididae (barracudinas). [3] [4]
Its specific name hyalina is from the Ancient Greek ὑάλῐνος (hyalinos, "crystal, glass"). [5]
It has no common name in English, but is known in Turkish as yalanci zargana ("false garfish") or derin deniz turna baligi ("deep-sea pike") and in Hebrew as ליסטים ארוך-סנפיר (listim aroch-snapir, "long-fin bandit"); this name refers to its long pectoral fins. [6] [7]
Sudis hyalina is elongated, maximum 1 m (3.3 ft) long, and silvery-pink in colour. [8] It has large teeth in the lower jaw, fixed and armed with serrated edges. It has 59 or 60 vertebrae. [9] [7]
Sudis hyalina lives in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. It is mesopelagic to bathypelagic, living at 200–2,000 m (660–6,560 ft). [8]
Sudis hyalina spawns near the surface in temperate to tropical waters. [10]
It is believed to be one of the fish responsible for chewing at submarine communications cable. [11] [12]
