Schnakenbeck's searsid (Sagamichthys schnakenbecki) is a species of fish in the family Platytroctidae (tubeshoulders). [3] [4]
It was named by Gerhard Krefft (1912–1993), who named it for his supervisor Werner Schnakenbeck. [5] [6]
Schnakenbeck's searsid has a long and slender body (maximum 27 cm (11 in)), dark in colour, with a short snout. It has 27–32 gill rakers, 7 or 8 branchiostegal rays and 9–11 pyloric caeca. The dorsal fin is far back, the pelvic fins behind the midpoint and the anal fin further back. It has photophores and a lateral line. [7] [8]
Schnakenbeck's searsid is benthopelagic, living in the eastern Atlantic Ocean at depths of 365–850 m (1,198–2,789 ft). [9] [10] [11] [12]
