caudal fin by a membrane to form a continuous fin. [5]
Distribution and habitat
Cepola pauciradiata has been recorded as occurring on the Atlantic coast of western Africa from Mauritania in the north to Angola in the south. It is most commonly found at depths between 25 and 100 m (82 and 328 ft) on muddy or sandt bottoms.[1]

chaetognaths. The biology of this fish is little known.[1]
