Ariosoma sereti is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[2] It was described by Emma Stanislavovna Karmovskaya in 2004.[3] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the Marquesas Islands, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean. It is known to dwell at a depth range of 95–370 metres. Females can reach a maximum total length of 26.5 centimetres.[2]
The species epithet was given in honour of Bernard Séret.[2] (b. 1949), Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris), for “significant” contributions to the study and collection of deepwater fishes, and for giving Karmovskaya the opportunity to study his material on eels.[4]
