The rattail in question (there were 3) turns out to be Caelorinchus maurifasciatus, about which virtaully nothing is known. As far as I know, all that is known about this species is the original paper describing it. I'll be doing gut-content analysis on them later this week. There was also a barracudina in there as well. These fish were bycatch that just got caught up with the squid in the trawl net. chrono_war01 Oct 24th, 2006, 02:39pm Is it just me? Or does the first picture of the second post have a green tinge to it? Infusoria Oct 24th, 2006, 03:21pm Hmm I suppose it does have a greenish cast. Dunno why. Must be something greenish there...
