Eel
No full textSwimming above seabed.Up to 1000 mm in total length. not a synaphobranchid, but a
Nettastomidae (sharp elongate snout, dorsal fin is very high, and tapers unlike a synaphobranchid, pectoral fins may be absent or very small (usually these are prominent in
synaphos and held out laterally). My initial guess is
Nettastoma, maybe N. melanura, which is known from the
Gulf of Guinea, depth range overall 300-900 m
Sea pen or Gorgonian
No full textAttached to seabed, possibly feeding.200 mm stalk length. Possibly a Pennatulid, could also be a gorgonian
Halosaurus
No full textSwimming above the seabed.600 - 1000 mm length. Not a Synaphobranchidae, but a
Halosauridae, of either the genus Halosaurus or Aldrovandia. If we had a better image, I could zoom in on the top of the head to see if scales are present (Halosaurus) or absent (Aldrovandia). However, since
the brain is visible through the occipital 'window', scales
are probably absent
Seastar Crossaster squamatus

Arctic skate? Amblyraja hyperborea
No full textResting on the seafloor.Possibly an Arctic skate resting on the seafloor

Cuttlefish
No full textA tiny cuttlefish was found at a density of 0.01 individuals per meter squared at Lancaster
