Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 4 - 6; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 4; Vértebra: 18 - 19. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36492). First dorsal spine modified to form a lure called illicium (Ref. 36492).
Found on sand bottom (Ref. 2850). Adults feed on small crustaceans and fish (Ref. 4525). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36492). Eggs are presumably contained in floating rafts (Ref. 36492).
