Conocara Macropterum
The longfin smooth-head (''Conocara macropterum'') is a species of fish in the family Alepocephalidae.

Alepocephalidae
Slickheads, also known as nakedheads or smoothheads, are deep water fishes that belong to the family Alepocephalidae. They are most commonly found in the bathypelagic layer, which is approximately 3000m below the surface. They get their name from the lack of scales on their heads. Similarly, the scientific name is from the Greek ᾰ̓- (''a''-, "not"); λέπος (''lepos'', "scale"); and κεφαλή (''kephalē'', "head"). It has about 22 genera with ca. 96 species. In Japanese they are known as . Description The following characteristics are generally shared by the Alepocephalidae family: Their mouths consist of 80 to 100 razor-sharp teeth, being rather small and feeble. They are shaped in an eel-like elongation, with large eyes, gill rakers that range from moderate to long and numerous, and spineless fins. The single dorsal fin is located posterior to the midpoint of the body and there is no adipose dorsal fin present, there is a pectoral fin ranging from small to rudimenta ...
