Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 4508); common length : 12.0 cm TL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 4508)
পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 6 - 8; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 11 - 13; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 0; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 18 - 20; কশেরুকা : 24. Reddish pink in color, silvery below (Ref. 5382). Body compressed, without scales. Mouth is placed at the end of the long tubular snout (Ref. 35388). Snout length (6.1cm), length of second dorsal spine (LDS 3.9 cm) (Ref. 39875).
Found between the seabed and midwater on the lower continental shelf, over sand. Juveniles found in oceanic surface waters (Ref. 2683); adults normally live close to the bottom (normally in 50-350 m depth (Ref. 47377)). Gregarious. Juveniles feed mainly on pelagic invertebrates, mainly copepods, while adults feed on bottom invertebrates (Ref. 6732). Seems to be sympatric with Macroramphosus gracilis (Lowe, 1839) all around the world (Ref. 89357).
