Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 1; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 0; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 3; Σπόνδυλοι: 19 - 20. Branchiostegal rays: 5 (Ref. 36495). Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: hacks hyoid barbel; widely separated frontals, dorsal margin with conspicuous, rounded, laterally compressed protuberance; absence of epiotic and postemporal spines; extremely slender and reduced maxillae; well developed and few in number, teeth in jaws; vomerine teeth 4; absence of first pharyngobranchial; ceratohyal lacking anterodorsal process (Ref. 86949).
Adults are mesopelagic and bathypelagic (Ref. 36495). Larvae are primarily mesopelagic (Ref. 36495). Males are parasitic, while females are oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36495). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36495).
