Ecologia
marinhas bentopelágico; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 400 m (Ref. 6181). Deep-water; 39°N - 44°S, 25°E - 134°W (Ref. 6181)
Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea to South Africa and New Caledonia, north to Japan. Recently reported from Tonga (Ref. 53797).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 200 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4408); common length : 100.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9784)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 17 - 19; Raios dorsais (total) : 16 - 17; Espinhos anais: 1; Raios anais : 16 - 17; Vértebras: 34. Two lateral lines, originating above the upper angle of gill opening, branching below the 4th dorsal-fin spine or slightly behind it, upper line running along the first dorsal-fin base and ending below about the end of the first dorsal fin, lower line abruptly curved backward from bifurcation, running mid laterally to the base of the middle caudal-fin ray. Body color is dark brown with slightly metallic reflections, sometimes slightly paler on belly. Dorsal fin membranes with black markings.
Mesobenthopelagic, down to depths of 400 m or more, often at the surface at night around Okinawa, Japan (Ref. 6181). The largest populations are probably on the slope of seamounts or ridges (Ref. 6181). Feeds on a variety of mesopelagic fish, squid and crustaceans (Ref. 6181).
