Description: There are two very closely related species, B. viridensis and B. guentheri that occur mainly as geographic cognates, but co-occur in the eastern Atlantic off western Africa. They differ in the lateral extent and placement of the black color sections along the body (aside from other more technical details). In B. guentheri, the band under the dorsal fin is black (of total of two black bands). In B. viridensis, it is white (of total of three black bands), as in these images.

Description: The deep sea lizardfish, Bathysaurus ferox was seen at Kamba-1 and the deeper sites Lavani and Zafarani. There are only two known species of Bathysaurus worldwide. Bathysaurus ferox is pigmented, as in this photo, and its congener B. mollis is neotenic and largely unpigmented (typically a ghostly pale white with translucent flesh). B. mollis extends to deeper depths, but both would be possible in this range. B. ferox is known from deep water, most commonly below 2000 m and at temperatures cooler than 4ºC.
