Monognathus onejaw , is the only genus of the family Monognathidae of deep-sea eels . The name comes from the Greek monos meaning “one” and gnathos meaning “jaw”, a reference to the large mouth in comparison with the rest of the fish, and also the absence of an upper jaw (maxilla and premaxilla bones are absent).[1]
Description [ edit ]
The dorsal and anal fins lack bony supports and the pectoral fins are missing. The snout has a fang connected to glands, which are venomous in adults.[2] [1]
Typical lengths are from 4 to 10 cm (1.5–4 in ), the maximum length recorded is 15.9 cm (6.3 in ).
Distribution [ edit ]
They are found at depths of over 2,000 m (6,600 ft ), and are found in all oceans.[3] [1]
