The sea toads and coffinfishes are a family, the Chaunacidae, of deep-sea ray-finned fishes belonging to the monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes.[1][2] These are bottom-dwelling fishes found on the continental slopes of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans,[3] at depths to at least 2,460 m (8,070 ft). There have also been findings of deep-sea anglerfishes off the coasts of Australia and New Caledonia.[4] Other findings suggest some genera of Chaunacidae are found near volcanic slopes encrusted with manganese.[4] Of the two genera in the family, Chaunacops are typically found at deeper depths than Chaunax, but with considerable overlap between the two genera.
