Description

Paraliparis abyssorum is maximum 11.3 cm (4.4 in) long, and brown in colour. Its mouth is terminal (i.e. pointing straight forward) and small, with simple teeth.

Habitat

Paraliparis abyssorum lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, to the southwest of Ireland; it was first discovered off the Porcupine Bank. It lives in the bathydemersal zone, up to 3,715 m (12,188 ft) deep, hence its specific name abyssorum ("of the depths").
