The deep-sea environment is associated with a wide range of anatomically specialized morphologies allowing camouflage in this low or no light environment. Specialized ultra-black coloration has been documented in the pelican eel,Eurypharynx pelecanoides, but has not been explored in the other largely deep-sea inhabiting pelagic anguilloid eels. Histological examination of the integument revealed a layer of free melanosomes in the superficial dermis consistent with specialized ultra-black camouflage in the swallower eelsSaccopharynx, the bobtail snipe eelCyema, the sawtooth eelsSerrivomer, and the snipe eelsAvocettinaandNemichthys. The anatomy in these taxa is consistent with the previously described ultra-black morphology, except thatNemichthys,Avocettina, andSerrivomerhave both large amounts of free melanosomes and melanophores. Consideration of this morphology in the context of anguilloid eel evolution in the deep-sea environment suggests repeated independent evolution of ultra-black coloration within the anguilloids, and greater development in the taxa more specifically associated with the bathypelagic habitats and the production of bioluminescence.
