No full textShelter in the BOP during the day. This is a nocturnal predator.A European conger. Here it is observed in the BOP at the Whirlwind location, West of Shetland.
European Congers (Conger conger) are found on rocky and sandy bottoms, remaining in shallow water as a juvenile and moving to deeper water as adults. It is found in the Eastern Atlantic (Senegal to Norway) and in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. It is a nocturnal predator which appeared to be resting in shelter provided by the overtrawl structure during our daytime observations. Spawns once, in the summer off Portugal or in the Mediterranean. For more information see Fishbase: http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?genusname=Conger&speciesname=conge
