  Saccopharyngiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saccopharyngiformes is an order of unusual ray-finned fish superficially similar to eels, but with many internal differences.
Most of the fish in this order are deep-sea types known from only a handful of specimens.
Saccopharyngiforms lack several bones, such as the symplectic bone, the bones of the opercle, and ribs.

 Gulper eel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gulper eel, Eurypharynx pelecanoides, is a deep-sea fish rarely seen by humans, though the creatures are occasionally snagged in fishermen's nets.
It is an eel-like fish of the order Saccopharyngiformes which is closely related to the true eels in Anguilliformes.
The gulper eel's most notable feature is its enormous mouth, much larger than its body.
