}} The Antillian snake eel (Ophichthus spinicauda, also known commonly as the Spinefin snake eel or the Banded snake eel[2]) is an eel in the family Ophichthidae (worm/snake eels).[3] It was described by John Roxborough Norman in 1922.[4] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the western central Atlantic Ocean, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Trinidad-Tobago, and Venezuela. It is known to dwell at a maximum depth of 300 metres, and inhabits coastal waters. Males can reach a maximum total length of 107 centimetres, but more commonly reach a TL of 70 cm.[3] The Antillian snake eel is of minor commercial interest to fisheries.[3] References1. ^Synonyms of Ophichthus spinicauda at www.fishbase.org. {{Taxonbar|from=Q2076878}}{{Ophichthidae-stub}}2. ^Common names for Ophichthus spinicauda at www.fishbase.org. 3. ^1 2 Ophichthus spinicauda at www.fishbase.org. 4. ^Norman, J.
