Paracetonurus flagellicauda is a species of fish in the subfamily Macrourinae (grenadiers or rattails).[3][4] Some sources place it in the genus Pseudonezumia.[5][6]
Description
[edit]Paracetonurus flagellicauda has a slender body, tapering to a string-like tail (hence its specific name flagellicauda, "whip-tail"). It is white with black markings.[7] Its length is maximum 39.3 cm (15.5 in).[2]
Habitat
[edit]Paracetonurus flagellicauda lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and southwest Indian Ocean, and is common in the Azores.[8][9][10] It is bathydemersal, living at 2,250–4,500 m (7,380–14,760 ft). The species may migrate along the mid-ocean ridges to travel between oceans.[11]
