The demersal ichthyofauna at the abyssal Station M at 4100 m depth in the NE Pacific Ocean (34°50′N, 123° 00′W) has been sampled from 1989 onwards using a combination of techniques; baited traps, long lines, otter trawls, towed camera sledge, remotely operated vehicles (ROV), human occupied vehicle (Alvin), benthic long-term time lapse camera and baited camera landers. The fish fauna is dominated by two species of macrourid Coryphaenoides armatus and C. yaquinae. Other species present are Bathysaurus mollis (Bathysauridae), Coryphaenoides leptolepis (Macrouridae), Bassozetus nasus, Spectrunculus grandis (Ophidiidae), three species of Liparidae, including Genioliparis ferox and a Zoarcid (Pachycara sp.). Evidence of deposition of egg masses by snail fishes, liparids on oceanographic equipment is discussed.

自1989年以来，使用多种技术对东北太平洋深海站M的深海鱼鳞鱼进行了采样，其深度为4100 m（34°50′N，123°00′W）。诱饵诱捕器，长行钓具，水獭拖网，拖曳的照相机爬犁，遥控车（ROV），载人车辆（Alvin），底栖长期延时摄影机和诱饵的照相机着陆器。鱼类的动物区系以大型的Coryphaenoides armatus和C. yaquinae两种动物为主。存在的其它种类是尖吻深海蜥鱼（Bathysauridae），Coryphaenoides落叶松（Macrouridae），Bassozetus鲚，Spectrunculus桉（Ophidiidae），三个物种Liparidae的，包括Genioliparis ferox和Zoarcid（Pachycara sp。）。讨论了蜗牛，脂类在海洋学设备上沉积卵团的证据。
