Backward swimming in elongated-bodied abyssal demersal fishes: Synaphobranchidae, Macrouidae, and Ophidiidae

"Using baited camera landers at depths of 4500-6300 m in the Pacific Ocean, we observed multiple instances of backward swimming using reverse undulation of the slender body in four species: the cutthroat eel Ilyophis robinsae, abyssal grenadier Coryphaenoides yaquinae, and cusk-eels Bassozetus sp. and Barathrites iris".
