Schnakenbeck's searsid (Sagamichthys schnakenbecki) is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders).[3][4]

It was named by Gerhard Krefft (1912–1993), who named it for his supervisor Werner Schnakenbeck.[5][6]

Description

Schnakenbeck's searsid has a long and slender body (maximum 27 cm (11 in)), dark in colour, with a short snout. It has 27–32 gill rakers, 7 or 8 branchiostegal rays and 9–11 pyloric caeca. The dorsal fin is far back, the pelvic fins behind the midpoint and the anal fin further back. It has photophores and a lateral line.[7][8]

Habitat

Schnakenbeck's searsid is benthopelagic, living in the eastern Atlantic Ocean at depths of 365–850 m (1,198–2,789 ft).[9][10][11][12]
