In human culture
The word 'Abyssobrotula' comes from 'abyssos', which means 'deep' or 'depth' in Greek, and 'brotula', which means 'little bud' or 'shoot' in Latin. The word 'hadropercularis' comes from 'hadros' meaning bulky, and 'opercularis', meaning gill cover, in reference to the robust opercle.
