Figures & data

Figure 1.  The family of the snailfishes, Liparidae, was one of A.P. Andriashev's favorite fish groups which he studied taxonomically and biogegographically. This blacksnout seasnail Paraliparis copei Goode & Bean, 1896 (104 mm SL) was photographed in a kreisel tank on board of the RV Seward Johnson, shortly after it had been collected alive during a dive with the Johnson Sealink submersible in Oceanographer Canyon, NW Atlantic, at about 800 m depth in fall 2005. The species was identified by Natalia V. Chernova, Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia. This specimen was later donated to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard (MCZ 165329; http://www.mcz.harvard.edu/Departments/Ichthyology/index.html) (Photographer: David Shale www.deepseaimages.co.uk)
