The crossthroat sawpalate[2] (Serrivomer jesperseni) is an eel in the family Nemichthyidae (snipe eels).[3] It was described by Marie-Louise Bauchot in 1953.[4] It is a marine, deep water-dwelling eel which is known from the western and eastern Pacific Ocean, including Papua New Guinea, British Columbia, Canada; the Gulf of Panama and Chile. It dwells at a maximum depth of 825 metres (2,710 ft). Males can reach a maximum total length of 40.6 centimetres (16.0 in).[3]
The species epithet "jesperseni" refers to P. Jespersen, a monographer of leptocephalids in the family Anguillidae.[3]
