Biology:Trachyrincidae

From HandWiki

Trachyrincidae is a family of gadiform fish. The subfamily contains four genera found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. These species live in deep-water. These fishes have a long, narrow and sharply pointed snout. The chin barbel is present.[1][2][3][4] Two genera (Macrouroides and Squalogadus) have a huge and rounded head with the consistency of a water-filled balloon. The eyes are tiny. The chin barbel is absent.[5]

The former subfamily Macrouroidinae is now considered synonymous with Trachyrincidae.[3]
