Description: There are two very closely related species, B. viridensis and B. guentheri that occur mainly as geographic cognates, but co-occur in the eastern Atlantic off western Africa. They differ in the lateral extent and placement of the black color sections along the body (aside from other more technical details). In B. guentheri, the band under the dorsal fin is black (of total of two black bands). In B. viridensis, it is white (of total of three black bands), as in these images. Item Type: Image Title: Tripodfish Copyright: SERPENT project Species: Bathypterois viridensis Behaviour: Swimming above seabed.
