Euclichthyidae (Eucla cods)
Etymology: Euclichthys: Greek, eukleia, -as = fame, glory (Ref. 45335); polynemus: McCulloch (1926) did not discuss the derivation of the epithet but presumably is a combination of
the Greek poly (many, very) and nema (thread) in allusion to the long, thread-like appearance of the pelvic-fin rays (see also Etyfish website, https://www.etyfish.org/?s=Euclichthys+polynemus)..

This species is distinguished by a set of the following: body depth at anal-fin origin 15-18% SL; greatest body depth 1.1-1.4 times length of longest first dorsal-fin ray; horizontal snout length 3.6-4.5% SL; eye relatively large, horizontal diameter 6.1-7.2% SL, 1.4-1.6 times interorbital width; interorbital width relatively broad 4.4-5.0% SL; orbit-upper jaw width 1.9-2.6% SL; caudal peduncle depth 1.5-2.1% SL; caudal-fin length 4-11 times caudal peduncle length; anal-fin base is relatively short, length 50-53% SL; length of longest pelvic-fin ray 29-37% SL, 1.9-2.7 times length of longest first dorsal-fin ray; length of longest first dorsal-fin ray 13-15% SL; no accessory caudal-fin bones X and Y; first ventral procurrent ray linked to hemal spine of vertebrae 10-12; dorsal-fin rays total 85-95; anal-fin rays total 85-102; pectoral-fin rays 19-20; caudal-fin rays 38-45; primary rakers in outer gill arch 23-25; total vertebrae 66-69; scales relatively large, ~20 in transverse line from anal-fin base posteriorly to dorsal margin of body (Ref. 122017).
A benthic species (Ref. 75154) which occurs on the upper continental slope (Ref. 9563, 75154).
