分布於印度-西太平洋海域。臺灣海域目前出現於西南及東北部海域。
利用
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
量多，漁民以深海底拖網或籠具捕獲；此種幾乎每次前往大溪漁港皆採集到大量的樣本，但因其體型小且細長，僅製作成下雜魚粉，無法食用。漁業之經濟價值較低。
描述

身體延長，尾部側扁且漸細，頭部及身體上半部呈暗褐色，腹側滿佈暗點，全長為鰓孔位體高及肛門位體高之25.7-30.2及23.5-38.2倍；肛門位於身體前段，肛門前長佔全長的27-38
%；尾長延長，其長度約為肛門前長的2.0-2.6倍；尾端柔軟，易彎折，尾部末端鰭條正常；背鰭起點位於胸鰭基部上方或略後方；奇鰭為黑色，鰭條分節；具有胸鰭，位於體高中點；鰓孔為圓弧形，位於身體側邊中點以下，其上緣與胸鰭基部上緣等高；全長為頭長之8.0-10.1倍，吻端延伸，口裂末端超過眼睛水平中點，甚至到達眼睛後緣，上顎長於下顎，吻長大於眼直徑，吻長為眼直徑之1.4-1.9倍；眼睛較小，約占頭長的5.7-7.7
%；嘴唇不具上唇瓣；前鼻孔為短管狀，靠近吻端，後鼻孔為橢圓形，位於眼睛垂直終點水平線略上方。上眼窩有5個感覺孔，下眼窩有7個感覺孔，前鰓顎有9-11個感覺孔，顳骨接合處有1個感覺孔；胸鰭鰭條數為11ca.，肛門前背鰭鰭條數為49-56；背鰭前側線孔數6-9，胸鰭前側線孔數7-9，肛門前側線孔數38-43；背鰭前脊椎骨數8-11，肛門前脊椎骨數41-45，血管閉合處前脊椎骨數80-85，總脊椎骨數157+-204。其外型與(/Bathyuroconger/)相似，但體型偏小且鋤骨齒塊延伸超過上顎齒中點為此兩屬最易辨識的差異。

Slender conger
provided by wikipedia EN
The slender conger (Uroconger lepturus, also known as the longtail conger or the yellow pike-conger[2]) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[3] It was described by John Richardson in 1845, originally under the genus Congrus.[4] It is a marine, tropical eel which is known from the Indo-Western Pacific Ocean, including the Red Sea, South Africa, and Japan. It dwells at a depth range of 18 to 760 metres (59 to 2,493 ft), and inhabits sand and mud. Males can reach a maximum total length of 52 centimetres (20 in), but more commonly reach a TL of 30 centimetres (12 in).[3]
The slender conger's diet consists of small benthic crustaceans.[5] It is of commercial interest to fisheries.[3]
