The blackpored eel[1] (Ophichthus melanoporus) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[2] It was described by Robert H. Kanazawa in 1963.[3] It is a tropical, marine eel which is known from the western central Atlantic Ocean, including Florida, USA; the Bahamas, and Mexico.[2][4] It dwells at a depth range of 51–460 meters. While the adults inhabit deep water, the larvae are laid inshore.[4] Males can reach a maximum total length of 70 centimeters.[2]

Despite its considerable distribution, the IUCN redlist currently lists the blackpored eel as Data Deficient due to a lack of information on its population, habitat preferences, ecology, and potential threats.[4]
