Bathytroctes is a genus of slickheads that occur in the depths of the oceans.
There are currently 11 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.
The Cyclopteridae are a family of marine fishes, commonly known as lumpsuckers or lumpfish, in the order Scorpaeniformes. They are found in the cold waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans. The greatest number of species are found in the North Pacific. The family name Cyclopteridae derives from the Greek words κύκλος (kyklos), meaning "circle", and πτέρυξ (pteryx), meaning "wing" or "fin", in reference to the circle-shaped pectoral fins of most of the fish in this family.
The bluntsnout smooth-head, black slickhead, cope's bluntsnout smooth-head, or Atlantic gymnast, Xenodermichthys copei, is a slickhead of the genus Xenodermichthys, found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans, and the Tasman Sea, at depths of 100 to 2,600 m. This species grows to a length of 31 centimetres (12 in) TL.
Bajacalifornia is a genus of slickheads. It was described in 1925 by Charles Haskins Townsend and John Treadwell Nichols on the basis of Bajacalifornia burragei which was discovered in 1911 during the deep sea expedition of the research vessel USS Albatross off the coast of Todos Santos Bay at the Baja California peninsula. In 1952 Ichthyologist Albert Eide Parr published a revision of this genus.
Lepidotrigla is a genus of searobins found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
Alepocephalus is a genus of slickheads found in all oceans.

Conocara is a genus of slickheads found in the deep waters of the oceans.
Einara is a small genus of slickheads found in the deep waters of the oceans.
Leptoderma is a genus of slickheads found in the deep waters of the oceans.
Microphotolepis is a genus of slickheads found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Narcetes is a genus of slickheads. It was formally described by Alfred William Alcock in 1890. It currently contains six described species.
Rouleina is a genus of slickheads.
Talismania is a genus of slickheads.
Xenodermichthys is a small genus of slickheads. They have blank white eyes that look blind.

Holtbyrnia is a genus of tubeshoulders.
Pseudonezumia is a genus of rattails.
Laeops is a genus of small lefteye flounders from the Indo-Pacific. They are mainly found in deep water, although a few species have been recorded shallower than 100 m (330 ft).
Bathytroctes elegans is a species of slickheads (Alepocephalidae). It is found in the Western Indian Ocean.
