Short description
पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 3; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 14 - 16; गुदा कांटा: 1; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: first gill arch with 19-21 rakers; vertebrae 26-27, including 11 abdominal ones; haemal arch of first caudal vertebra without a spine ('spur'); D III,14-16; A I,8; P 15; ventral fin I,8; ventral fin begins slightly anteriorly or beneath vertical of the posterior margin of pectoral fin insertion; anal fin begins beyond vertical of last ray of dorsal fin (Ref. 90261).
Juvenile fish of this species were reported to be seined with closing fishing gear at depths of 290-1060 m, while adults were seined at depths of 1483-1548 m. It was suggested that unlike adults, juveniles perform vertical migrations (Ref. 90261).
