Etymology: Trematomus: Greek, trematos = hole + Greek, tomo = section, cut (Ref. 45335); nicolai: Named after Nicolai Hanson, biologist and collector of Southern Cross fishes, died at Cape Adare during the expedition (Ref. 11892).
Eponymy: Nicolai Hanson (1870–1899) was a Norwegian zoologist and Antarctic explorer. (See Hanson) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Issue
The genus Pseudotrematomus is a synonym of Trematomus, which is confirmed by a molecular study to be published (J.-C. Hureau, pers. comm. 08 Jun. 2010).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin démersal; profondeur 1 - 420 m (Ref. 11892). Polar; 65°S - 78°S
Southern Ocean: East Antarctica (some localities), but not from the Peninsula region and westward to the Ross Sea. Coasts of Adelie Land, Davis, Weddell, South Shetland and South Orkney Islands.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 36.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5179); poids max. publié: 0.00 g
Épines dorsales (Total) : 4 - 5; Rayons mous anaux: 31 - 35. Body brownish, more or less distinct dark crossbars, scattered small dark spots, fins dusky, spiny dorsal blackish (Ref. 11892).
A nearshore benthic species usually abundant in shelf waters of East Antartica (Ref. 122792). Adults feed primarily on amphipods, other fishes, and molluscan larvae, with lesser amount of polychaetes and mysids. They capture some prey in the water column, but are not cryopelagic.
