Ecologia
marinhas batidemersal; intervalo de profundidade 39 - 1200 m (Ref. 117245), usually 71 - ? m (Ref. 117245). Deep-water; 0°C - 5°C (Ref. 35388); 74°N - 61°N, 72°W - 45°W (Ref. 117245)

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 52.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4695); common length : 27.5 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4695)
Dorsal fin without depression, front end with 0-3 black - brown spots. Lateral line runs near the anal fin (Ref. 35388).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Lives at temperature of 0-5°C. Off Greenland it measures 50 cm and off Scandinavia rarely over 25-30 cm (Ref. 35388). Benthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds mostly on endobenthic prey, with shrimps and euphausiids becoming the more prominent prey as the size increases (Ref. 13532). Prefers warmer waters (Ref. 13534). Large eggs of 6 mm diameter are deposited on the sea floor.
