  Rattail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grenadiers or rattails (less commonly whiptails) are generally large, brown to fl gadiform marine fish of the family Macrouridae.
The Macrouridae are a large and diverse family with some 34 genera and 383 species recognized.
The Macrouridae in general are thought to have low resilience; commercially exploited species may be overfished and this could soon lead to a collapse of rattail fisheries.

The species Coryphaenoides rupestris of the family Macrouridae has been recorded in the Atlantic from the Bay of Biscay northward to the Trondheim area, westward to the Faeroes, off southern Iceland and south western Greenland, and in the western North Atlantic.
It was observed resting on the seabed and did not appear to be disturbed by the presence of the camera.
It is probable that this species was observed on other video footage and recorded as the family Macrouridae as there was difficulty in differentiating species from video footage.

The Macrouridae is a large family of deepwater fish with 27 genera in four subfamilies.
Behind a short trunk, the body of the Macrouridae becomes compressed and tapers strongly so as to appear tail like, hence the common name of rat-tail.
During the present survey, the Macrouridae were recorded from video footage of the Porcupine Bank and Bight, the Rockall Bank and around the Darwin Mounds.
