Brotulotaenia Brevicauda
''Brotulotaenia brevicauda'' is a benthopelagic marine fish species in the family Ophidiidae. This totally black fish is usually found in the Atlantic Ocean but it has also been reported in the Indian. ''B. brevicauda'' lives in deep water and grows up to 32 cm in length. It is also occasionally known as the Short-tail cusk-eel. Description ''B. brevicauda'' can be differentiated from other cusk eels in that it's operculum lacks a spine. Many cusk-eels also have a patch of teeth in the middle of the basibranchial region, and while ''B. brevicauda'' lacks this feature, its gill-rakers form a number of tooth-bearing tubercules. The otoliths of this species are also very small and rounded. In the rest of the skeleton, ''B. brevicauda'' scales are small, prickle-like, and are not imbricated. The dorsal fin lacks spines but has 79-84 rays. Similarly, the anal fin lacks spines but has 58-64 rays. In total this species has 63-66 vertebrae, 12-15 of which are in the pre-cauda ...

Cusk-eel
The cusk-eel family, Ophidiidae, is a group of marine bony fishes in the Ophidiiformes order. The scientific name is from the Greek ''ophis'' meaning "snake", and refers to their eel-like appearance. True eels, however, diverged from other ray-finned fish during the Jurassic, while cusk-eels are part of the Percomorpha clade, along with tuna, perch, seahorses, and others. Distribution Cusk-eels are found in temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. They live close to the sea bottom, ranging from shallow water to the hadal zone. One species, '' Abyssobrotula galatheae'', was recorded at the bottom of the Puerto Rico trench, making it the deepest recorded fish at . Ecology Cusk-eels are generally very solitary in nature, but some species have been seen to associate themselves with tube worm communities. Liking to be hidden when they are not foraging, they generally associate themselves within muddy bottoms, sinkholes, or larger structures that they can hide in or ...
