Etymology: Japonoconger: Composed from Japan + Latin, conger = conger (Ref. 45335); caribbeus: Named for the Caribbean Sea, the only place the species has been collected (Ref. 40828).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser bathydemersal; tiefenbereich 329 - 576 m (Ref. 40828). Deep-water
Western Central Atlantic: Caribbean coast of Colombia and Venezuela.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.2 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 40789)
Wirbelzahl: 160 - 166. Similar to Japonoconger sivicolus but with more head pores. Basic pattern of supratemporal pore seems to be a median pore flanked on each side by a pore midway to the lateral line and another pore immediately above the first lateral-line pore. Anomalies common, but no specimen less than four. Some specimens with one or two postorbital pores; Supratemporal pores show considerable variation, but no specimen has fewer than six.
