Paraliparis abyssorum

Paraliparis abyssorum lives in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, to the southwest of Ireland; it was first discovered off the Porcupine Bank.^[8] It lives in the bathydemersal zone, up to 3,715 m (12,188 ft) deep, hence its specific name abyssorum ("of the depths").^[7]

Paraliparis abyssorum is a demersal spawner, meaning that it deposits eggs in a pre-prepared nest on or under the seafloor.^[7] Its eggs are 3 mm (0.12 in) diameter and have a volume of 14 mm³ (0.00085 cu in).^[9]
