The Neoscopelidae (blackchins or neoscopelids) are a small family of deep-sea fish closely related to the lanternfish. They are found in tropical and subtropical marine waters worldwide. They can be distinguished from the lanternfish only by a few technical characters, such as the position of the anal fin being far behind that of the dorsal fin. Some species also lack the light-emitting organs (photophores) of the lanternfish. They are typically between in length.〔 One genus has photophores arranged in a single series along the edge of the tongue and one or two along the ventral surface of the body. ==Species== The six known species of neoscopelids are grouped into three genera: *''Neoscopelus'' *''Scopelengys'' *''Solivomer'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neoscopelidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
