Description: The fish in the images looks like a species of the Synaphobranchid genus Ilyophis. This is based on the inflated looking snout, relatively small eye, and prominent white lateral line pores.
A possible species is Ilyophis blachei from the depth and body size.
It is feeding on a crustacean, perhaps a member of the Dendrobranchiata Item Type: Image Title: Synaphobranchid eel Species: Ilyophis sp. Behaviour: Feeding Site: Atlantic -- South Atlantic Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 2011 Countries: West Africa -- Angola Project Partners: Subsea 7 Deposited By: Dr Andrew Gates Deposited On: 10 September 2012
