Several attempts have been made to establish a commercial fishery for the most common larger species, such as the giant grenadier, but the fish is considered unpalatable, and attempts thus far have proven unsuccessful. [3] The subfamily as a whole may represent up to 15% of the deep-sea fish population.
The rough abyssal grenadier (Coryphaenoides yaquinae) is a species of deep-sea grenadier fish in the family Macrouridae.First described as a separate species in 1974, the rough abyssal grenadier was historically confused with its congener, Coryphaenoides armatus. [1]
The deepwater grenadier is very large for its genus, measuring up to 129 cm (4.23 ft) and 14 kg (31 lb). [8] Olfaction and taste are important senses for finding prey, which is unsurprising as it lives in the near-total darkness of the deep sea. [9] [8] It has a swim bladder, showing that it is a mobile forager. [10]
The ridge scaled rattail [2] or ridge-scaled grenadier, [3] Macrourus carinatus, is a species of deep-water fish in the family Macrouridae. [1] [2] It has southern circumglobal distribution in temperate to subantarctic waters (34°S–65°S) and is found in the Southern Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and in the Southern Ocean [1] [2] at depths of about 200–1,200 m (660–3,940 ft).
The Mediterranean grenadier lives in the North Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Mexico; it is bathydemersal, living at depths of 1,000–4,262 m (3,281–13,983 ft). [ 6 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] During 2008–2011 baited cameras were deployed over a depth range of 532–5111 m in the Ionian Sea to characterize the large mobile fauna.

The abyssal grenadier, Coryphaenoides armatus, is an abyssal fish of the genus Coryphaenoides, found in all the world's oceans, at depths between 800 and 4,000 metres (2,600 and 13,100 ft). Its adult length is 20 to 40 centimetres (8 to 16 in), although Fishbase [ 2 ] gives lengths up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in).
