Elassodiscus tremebundus, also known as the Dimdisc snailfish, is a species of snailfish which is found in the Pacific Ocean, specifically in the Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Aleutian Islands, eastern coast of Kamchatka, Kuril Islands, and Hokkaido, Japan.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus name Elassodiscus was first described by Gilbert & Burke in 1912, the species E. tremebundus being described in the same year. The genus name comes from the Greek words 'elasson' (έλασσον) meaning 'smaller' and diskos (δίσκος) meaning 'disc'.[1] This may be in reference to a smaller adhesive disc (a common characteristic in many snailfish species aside from those in the genera Paraliparis and Nectoliparis) than other genera of snailfishШаблон:Citation needed. The etymology of the species name tremebundus is unclear/not well documented.
