Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 119 - 123; Radios blandos anales: 94 - 96; Vértebra: 65 - 66. Species distinguished by the following characters: elongated body (depth at origin of anal fin 9.0-10.5% SL and at origin of dorsal fin 13.0% SL); D 119-123; A 94-96; pectoral 28; vertebrae 15+50-51; anterior anal fin ray below dorsal fin ray number 28-31; no teeth on vomer and on basibranchial plates; long rakers on anterior gill arch 9-11 (ref. 75736)
An oviparous species caught at abyssal depths with remains of crustaceans in stomach and intestine. Presumably benthic or benthopelagic (Ref. 75736).
