Californian conger
The Californian conger (Paraconger californiensis), also known as the ringeye conger,[2] is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[3] It was described by Robert H. Kanazawa.[4] It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from the eastern central and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Peru.[1] It is known to dwell at a depth of 50 metres.[3] Males reach an average total length of 40 centimetres, but can reach a maximum TL of 60 cm.[3] Due to its widespread distribution, lack of known threats, and lack of perceived population declines, the IUCN redlist currently lists the Californian conger as Least Concern.[1] References
