Ceratiidae (Warty Seadevils)
Etymology: Ceratias: Greek, keras = horn or horned, refers to the lure projecting from the snout (Ref. 86949).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser bathypelagisch; tiefenbereich 400 - 4400 m (Ref. 74511), usually 400 - 2000 m (Ref. 37729). Deep-water; 67°N - 45°S, 180°W - 180°E
Circumglobal: In tropical to temperate waters. Adults (expatriates ?) found in boreal and subarctic waters. South China Sea and East China Sea (Ref.74511).
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 7463); 120.0 cm TL (female); common length :77 cm TL (female)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 1; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 3 - 4; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4; Wirbelzahl: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Maximum size observed for free living males is 1.3 cm (Ref. 10524). Males are parasitic, females oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494). Minimum depth from Ref. 037729.
