Duckbill Eels [Nettastomatidae]

Description

Nettastomatidae, or duckbill eels, have distinctive elongated, duck-bill shaped snouts. These eels are found in deep-sea environments and have small eyes, large mouths, and long, slender bodies. They primarily feed on invertebrates and small fish. Their bodies are often dark, helping them blend into the depths.
