The roughhead grenadier feeds on crustaceans and other small invertebrates it finds on the seabed. The diet includes small fish, shrimps, amphipods, polychaete worms, bivalve molluscs, isopods, brittle stars, other echinoderms and comb jellies. [3] [6] The roughhead grenadier is a slow growing fish.
Coryphaenoides rupestris is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the family Macrouridae. Its common names include the rock grenadier, the roundnose grenadier and the roundhead rat-tail. In France it is known as grenadier de roche and in Spain as granadero de roca. It is a large, deep-water species and is fished commercially in the northern ...
As with many deep-living fish, the lateral line system in grenadiers is well-developed; it is further aided by numerous chemoreceptors located on the head and lips and chemosensory barbels underneath the chin. Benthic species have swim bladders with unique muscles attached to them. The animals are thought to use these muscles to "strum" their ...
The rough abyssal grenadier is an active benthic forager, with a diet that features a variety of seafloor fauna. [4] [5] Squids, crustaceans, and polychaetes comprise the most consistent sources of prey for C. yaquinae, though stomach content analyses have revealed echinoderms, fish, and food scavenged from carrion.

The roughnose grenadier (Trachyrincus murrayi) is a species of fish in the subfamily Macrourinae (rat-tails). [3] [4] The species is named for Sir John Murray. [5]
They are found at depths from around 200 meters (660 feet) to greater than 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). They normally prefer temperatures of between 1 and 4 °C (34 and 39 °F), although one species, the Antarctic roughhead (Macrourus whitsoni), has been collected at temperatures which were slightly below 0 °C (32 °F).

Fish that have barbels include the catfish, the carp, the goatfish, the hagfish, the sturgeon, the zebrafish, the black dragonfish and some species of shark such as the sawshark. Barbels house the taste buds of such fish and are used to search for food in murky water. The word barbel comes from Latin barbula 'little beard'. [1]
