Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 13. A black vertical bar on the caudal peduncle; distal portion of anal fin black.
Adults inhabit deep offshore trawling grounds (Ref. 7247). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
