Short description: Species of fish

Gnathophis tritos is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).^[2] It was described by David G. Smith and Robert H.

Gnathophis tritos was given its species epithet due to its being the third species in its genus discovered in the western Atlantic.^[2]
