Abstract
INTRODUCTIONThe deep-sea eel, Synaphobranchus kaupi, is widely distributed on the continental slopes of the North Atlantic (Saldanha & Bauchot, 1986; Haedrich & Merrett, 1988). It was a dominant fish species in epibenthic sledge and semi-balloon otter trawl (OTSB) hauls on the West African slope (Merrett & Marshall, 1981; Merrett & Domanski, 1985). Also in the eastern North Atlantic, it was the most abundant species on the slopes of the Porcupine Sea Bight off south-west Ireland (Merrett et al., 1991; Priede et al., 1994). In the western North Atlantic, it was the dominant species on the middle and lower slopes of the Middle Atlantic States of the USA and on the upper slopes of the Grand Banks off Newfoundland (Sedberry & Musick, 1978; Houston & Haedrich, 1986).
