Coccorella atlantica is a species of sabertooth fish, found in the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean. The body composition of C. atlantic differs from other species, as their eyes are semi-tubular and directed dorso-laterally. The eye diameter is about equal to the interorbital width as well.[1]
