Bembropidae (Duckbill flatheads)
Etymology: Bembrops: Greek, bembras, -ados = a kind of anchovy m+ Greek, ops = appearance (Ref. 45335); heterurus: Specific name probably from the Greek 'heteros' meaning different and 'oura' meaning tail..
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
البيئة
بحري القاع; نطاق العمق 50 - 400 m (Ref. 6948), usually 80 - 200 m (Ref. 47377). Deep-water; 12°N -
Western Atlantic: off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Uruguay. Eastern Atlantic: Mauritania to the extreme northern waters of Namibia (Ref. 6948, 27121). The eastern Atlantic form referred to as Bembrops heterurus is unlikely to be conspecific with the Brazilian form, thus further taxonomic study is needed to clarify this situation (Ref. 6948).
