Saccopharynx ampullaceus, referred to as the gulper eel, gulper,[1] taillight gulper or pelican-fish, is an ocean-dwelling eel found in the North Atlantic Ocean. They are found up to a depth of 3,000 m (9,800 ft).[3][4] These fish are rarely observed, so little information is currently known about their habits or full distribution.
