The Colocongridae, the worm eels or short-tail eels, are a family of eels, containing a single genus, Coloconger.
Colongrids are found in tropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and West Pacific oceans. They are bottom-dwelling fish, living in waters from 300 to 900 m (980 to 2,950 ft) in depth.[2] Compared with other eels, they have relatively short and stubby bodies, with blunt snouts.
Species
[edit]The ten known species are:[3]
- Genus Coloconger
- Coloconger cadenati Kanazawa, 1961
- Coloconger canina (Castle & Raju, 1975)
- Coloconger eximia (Castle, 1967)
- Coloconger giganteus (Castle, 1959) (giant leptocephalus)
- Coloconger japonicus Machida, 1984
- Coloconger maculatus Ho, Tang & Chu, 2021 [4]
- Coloconger meadi Kanazawa, 1957
- Coloconger raniceps Alcock, 1889 (froghead eel)
- Coloconger saldanhai (Quéro, 2001)[5]
