Cynoponticus coniceps, the red pike conger or conehead eel,[1]) is an eel in the family Muraenesocidae (pike congers).[2] It was described by David Starr Jordan and Charles Henry Gilbert in 1882, originally under the genus Muraenesox.[3] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the eastern central and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Peru, and Nicaragua.[4] It dwells at a depth range of Шаблон:Convert, and inhabits sediments of sand and mud. Males can reach a maximum total length of Шаблон:Convert; the maximum recorded weight is Шаблон:Convert.[2]
The red pike conger's diet consists of finfish and invertebrates.[5] It is of commercial interest to fisheries, and is considered to have high quality flesh.[2] It is also captured as a by-catch by shrimp trawlers.[4]
The IUCN redlist currently lists Cynoponticus coniceps as Data Deficient, due to a lack of information on how the species is affected by fishing activities.[4]
