Eustomias jimcraddocki Sutton & Hartel, a new species of deep-sea dragonfish from the Western North Atlantic. The holotype (shown here), a 142 mm male, was taken at 800 m depth off Georges Bank, July 2002. The fish is named in honor of Dr. James Craddock of W.H.O.I. in recognition of his many contributions to our knowledge of deep-sea fishes. » More about Sutton's research
