Sabertooth fishes (also spelt sabretooth) are small, fierce-looking deep-sea aulopiform fish comprising the family Evermannellidae. The family is small, with just eight species in three genera represented; they are distributed throughout tropical to subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean. These fishes are appropriately named for their oversized, recurved palatine teeth redolent of the saber-toothed cats. The family name "Evermannellidae" was given in honour of Dr. Barton Warren Evermann, a noted ichthyologist, naturalist and director of the California Academy of Sciences.
