Coryphaenoides armatus (Abyssal grenadier)

The abyssal grenadier's body is unique in that it contains two dorsal spines and about 124 dorsal soft rays, which are the flexible jointed rays supporting a fin nearest to the back in the spinal column.

Ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities were high in several species, particularly Coryphaenoides armatus.

Soon after the bait was dropped 3000m underwater, at least three species of deep sea fish, grenadiers ( Coryphaenoides armatus and C. mediterraneus ) and cusk eels ( Spectunculus sp ) began to attack it, eating away at the spinach.
