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 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. The oldest fossil cusk-eel is '' Ampheristus'', a highly successful genus with numerous species that existed from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to the early Oligocene. Distribution Cusk-eels live 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. Liki ...

Oviparous
Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (i.e., by laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method used by most animal species, as opposed to viviparous animals that develop the embryos internally and metabolically dependent on the maternal circulation, until the mother gives birth to live juveniles. Ovoviviparity is a special form of oviparity where the eggs are retained inside the mother (but still metabolically independent), and are carried internally until they hatch and eventually emerge outside as well-developed juveniles similar to viviparous animals. Modes of reproduction The traditional modes of reproduction include oviparity, taken to be the ancestral condition, traditionally where either unfertilised oocytes or ...

Monomitopus Vitiazi
''Monomitopus'' is a genus of cusk-eels. They are oviparous. Life cycle Analysis of stable oxygen isotope composition of otoliths has shown that '' Monomitopus pallidus'' and '' Monomitopus kumae'' undergo an ontogenetic habitat shift, spending their early life pelagically in shallower waters, before descending to the deep-sea floor where they stay for rest of their lives. The larvae of these species have been reported to coil tightly and drift in the pelagic until settlement. A subset of species have been found to have a bilaterally paired hole or fenestra in the skull. Species There are currently 14 recognized species in this genus: * ''Monomitopus ainonaka'' M. Girard, Carter & Johnson, 2023 * '' Monomitopus agassizii'' ( Goode & T. H. Bean, 1896) * '' Monomitopus conjugator'' (Alcock, 1896) * '' Monomitopus garmani'' ( H. M.
