Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
marien bathydemersaal; diepte 100 - 1200 m (Ref. 559). Deep-water

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.5 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 44983)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 9. Opercular spine present. Gill rakers on the first arch are broader at the proximal end, usually with ridged internal edges (western Atlantic individuals with 26-30, Japanese specimens with 24-32, and Hawaiian Ridge specimens with 30-32). Teeth are developed on the central portion of the tongue but not on its edges (Ref. 31632).
A mesobenthic-pelagic species living mainly above the bottom (Ref. 31632). Found on or near continental slopes and seamounts (Ref. 559).
