Abstract

Parazen pacificus (Zeiformes, Parazenidae) is a benthopelagic fish found at depths of 146-600 m in the western Pacific, Indian, Caribbean, and western Atlantic Oceans. This ray-finned fish has a silvery elongate compressiform body with magenta coloring along its dorsal side. My thesis examines three juvenile specimens of Parazen pacificus to provide the first description and illustration of the juvenile stage of this species.
