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 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 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).
The Mediterranean grenadier has a measurement of up to 73 cm (29 in). [6] The head is scaled except for its gular and branchiostegal membranes; it has a blunt snout. [7] [8] Its brain shows increased volume in the octavolateral area (premotor organization of body movements) and gustatory area (taste); this is unsurprising as it lives in near-total darkness and is dependent on chemosensory ...
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]
