Scopelogadus beanii

IUCN status: DD

A deep bodied melamphid of the open ocean, Bean's bigscale is one of the largest and deepest living of its family, taken by trawls down to about 2,500 metres. It feeds on drifting prey in the dark water column, and so little is confirmed about its numbers that the IUCN lists it as data deficient.
