Macrouridae (Grenadiers or rattails)
Etymology: Sphagemacrurus: Greek, sphage, es = death + Greek, makrouros = with a big tail (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin bathypélagique; non migrateur; profondeur 1000 - 1500 m. Deep-water; 42°N - 10°N, 97°W - 58°W (Ref. 1371)
Western Central Atlantic: Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. One record from Hudson Canyon.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 1371)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0. Snout short, blunt; eyes large, its diameter greater than snout length. Pyloric caeca about 9, short, stumpy (Ref. 1371). Band of small pointed teeth in the premaxilla and dentary. Head fully scaled except for underside of snout, gular and branchiostegal membranes. Body dark brown to black, buccal cavity, gill cavities and peritoneum black (Ref. 37108).
Closely related to S. hirundo (eastern Atlantic) and S. pumiliceps (Indian Ocean). A more thorough study using adequate numbers of specimens should be done to distinguish the three.
