Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 19 - 22; Raggi anali molli: 4. Short-snouted species with large eyes (Ref. 48635).
Adults live in muddy habitats, often covered with silt and extremely well-camouflaged (Ref. 48635). Planktonic specimens taken in the upper 0 to 100 m over depths to at least 2980 m while the demersal fish have been taken in SCUBA and trawl collections from 9 to 91.4 m. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). Males exhibit parental care by incubating and guarding the eggs in their brood pouch (Ref. 43081).
