Coryphaenoides brevibarbis, also called the shortbeard grenadier, is a species of deep-sea fish in the family Macrouridae.[3]
Description
Coryphaenoides brevibarbis is pale brown in colour, with the lips, lining of gill cavities and peritoneum black. It is up to 35 cm (14 in) in length.[4] Its premaxillary teeth are in a narrow/broad band, while the lower jaw has one row of teeth. Its snout is low and blunt, barely protruding, hence the name brevibarbis ("short beard").[5]
Habitat
Coryphaenoides brevibarbis lives in the North Atlantic Ocean; it is bathypelagic, living at depths of 430–4,700 m (1,410–15,420 ft).[6][7]
Behaviour
Coryphaenoides brevibarbis feeds on crustaceans, mysids and worms, using olfaction and its lateral line to find prey.[8] Lifespan is about 14–15 years.[9] Cyclocotyloides bergstadi and Chondracanthodes deflexus are parasites living in its gills.[10][11] Many nematode parasites are also found in it.[12]
