Etymology: Polyacanthonotus: Greek, poly = a lot of + Greek, akantha = thorn + Greek,noton = back (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas batipelágico; intervalo de profundidade 700 - 3000 m (Ref. 4449), usually 1500 - 2000 m (Ref. 4449). Deep-water; 45°N - 35°S, 98°W - 20°E
