Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 8; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 7; Vertebre: 19. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36490).
Adults are benthic on the continental shelf and the upper regions of the continental slope (Ref. 9538). Juveniles are pelagic (Ref. 9538). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36490). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36490). Probably caught as a by-catch of trawl fishing (Ref. 9538).
