Saccopharynx berteli is a species of ray-finned fish within the family Saccopharyngidae. [2] It is known from a single holotype collected from the central Pacific Ocean through an open fishing net at a depth of 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) in 1977. The individual caught was an immature male with a length of 89.5 centimetres (35.2 in). [3] [1] It has been classified as a ' Data deficient' species by the IUCN Red List as there is little information regarding its population, ecology, distribution, and potential threats. [1]
