The tubeshoulders are a family, Platytroctidae, of ray-finned fish belonging to the order Alepocephaliformes. They are found throughout the world, except for the Mediterranean Sea. Tubeshoulders live at moderate depths of 300 to 1,000 m (980 to 3,280 ft), and some have light-producing organs. They are generally small to medium fish, ranging from 9 to 33 cm (3.5 to 13.0 in) in length. [1]
The family contains the following genera: [1]
- Barbantus
- Holtbyrnia
- Matsuichthys
- Maulisia
- Mentodus
- Mirorictus
- Normichthys
- Pectinantus
- Persparsia
- Platytroctes
- Sagamichthys
- Searsia
- Searsioides
- † Vachalia [2]
