The black sawtoothed eel[2] (Serrivomer brevidentatus) is an eel in the family Nemichthyidae (snipe eels).[3] It was described by Louis Roule and Léon Bertin in 1929, originally as a subspecies of Serrivomer sector.[4] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean, including the Strait of Gibraltar, Cape Verde, and the United States. It dwells at a depth range of 150–6000 metres. Males can reach a maximum total length of 60 centimetres.[3]
