Eelpout

/ˈiːlˌpaʊt/ noun

Definition

A type of small fish with an eel-like body, belonging to the family Zoarcidae, found in cold ocean waters.

Etymology

From 'eel' and 'pout' (from Middle English 'pouten' meaning to pout or stick out). Named for its protruding lips or sullen appearance combined with eel-like form.

Kelly Says

Eelpouts live in the deepest, coldest parts of the ocean where they're nearly invisible to science, yet they're so abundant that they might be the most numerous fish on Earth by weight.
