  Gonostomatidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gonostomatidae is a family of deep-water marine fish, commonly named bristlemouths, lightfishes or anglemouths.
However, bristlemouths make up for their lack of diversity with numbers: Cyclothone, with 12 species, is thought to be (along with Vinciguerria), the most abundant vertebrate genus in the world.
Their chief common name — bristlemouth — is after their odd equally-sized bristle teeth.
