Sars, [[1883]] }} '''''Bentheuphausia amblyops''''' is a [[species]] of [[krill]]. Krill are small [[shrimp]]-like [[crustacean]]s living in the ocean. ''B. amblyops'' is the only species within its genus, which in turn is the only genus within the family '''Bentheuphausiidae'''. All the 85 other species of krill known are classified in the family [[Euphausiidae]]. ''B. amblyops'' can be found in the northern [[Atlantic Ocean]]. It occurs in [[latitude]]s south of 40°&nbsp;N, and also in the southern seas of the Atlantic, in the [[Indian Ocean]] and in the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]]. It is a [[pelagic|bathypelagic]] krill that lives in deep waters below 1,000&nbsp;m. It is distinguished from the Euphausiidae by several morphological features. The features most easily used to tell it apart are that the animals are ''not'' [[bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] and that their first pair of [[pleopod]]s is ''not'' modified as copulatory tool organs. Also, their eyes are smaller than those of the Euphausiidae. Adults reach a length of 4 to 5&nbsp;cm. == References == *[http://www.itis.usda.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=95499 Taxonomy of ''Bentheuphausia amblyops'']{{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} from [[ITIS]]. *[http://www.marine.csiro.au/cgi-bin/cs_map.pl?csq=7000:459:2|7101:209:2|7101:209:4|7101:219:2|7102:100:1|7102:100:3|7301:394:2|7301:394:4|7301:495:1|7
