Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 8; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 7; Vértebra: 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).
