. The depths of the ocean : a general account of the modern science of oceanography based largely on the scientific researches of the Norwegian steamer Michael Sars in the North Atlantic. "Michael Sars" North Atlantic Deep-sea Expedition (1910); Oceanography; North Atlantic Ocean. Fig. 459. Gastrostonius bairdii, G. and R. Nat. size, 47 cm. fins. From coastal waters the eel, the conger, and the Muraenidae are best known. In deep waters the Synaphobranchidae, included in the list of bottom-fishes, are very important; some of them are perhaps deep-living pelagic fish, but our knowledge on this point is still imperfect. The three species of the Nemichthyidae and the two species of the Saccopharyngidae are undoubtedly pelagic forms. Gastrostoinus bairdii is shown in Fig. 459. Serrivomer sector was taken at numerous stations, one specimen of the large and remarkable Nemichtliys Fig. 460. Cyema atritm, Gtinth. Xat. size, cm. scolopaceus was captured south of the Azores, and the peculiar Cyema atriiin (see Fig. 460) was taken at three stations in the southern part of our track. To this sub-order belong the larval forms termed Leptocephali, which are all larvae of Anguillidae, Muraenidae, Nemichthyidae, Synapho- branchidae, and Saccopharyngidae. The sub-order Haplomi includes the Scopelidae, one genus of which, Myctophuin, is represented by numerous species (Brauer mentions more than seventy); these play a greater part in the surface fauna of the ocean than all other pelagic fishes. Our list records only those species determined up to the present time, and there are doubtless many more. Of greatest interest to us are Myctop/mm glaciale, M. punciattcin, which.
