The Japanese pugnose grenadier (Nezumia condylura) is a species of rattail fish. It is found at depths of up to 720 m (2362 ft) in the waters around southern Japan, northern Taiwan and in the East China Sea.[1][2]
As the common name suggests, this fish has a very short, blunt snout. It is greyish-brown overall but with a bluish tinge on the abdomen. The margins of the mouth and gills are blackish and the fins are dark. The first dorsal fin has blackish margins and has two spines.
