A Duckbill oceanic eel, Derichthyidae ( Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ), was collected on 29 October 2017 during the survey EVHOE on the Research Vessel Thalassa from Ifremer institute. It was collected at Station V0494 (Southern Bay of Biscay, France), at 45.1322 / 45.1033 °N, –3.4696 / -3.5432 °W, at 750 m depth above a 1334/ 1340 m deep continental slope. The fresh specimen measured 460 mm TL, 450 mm SL, and the head was 54 mm long. The weight was 51.1 g. The specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2019-0094 and a tissue sample was preserved under No. BPS-3978. Record- ed by JS. The present specimen is a new record for the Bay of Biscay where the species is uncommonly recorded due to its bathypelagic range.
