Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 11; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 19 - 21. Olive brown in color, edges of scale pockets blackish; 2 black bands formed by peritoneum showing through body wall; blackish triangular spot on caudal base (Ref. 6602).
Mesopelagic to bathypelagic (Ref. 6602). Sometimes taken at depths greater than 500 m (Ref. 6602). Feeds on smaller plankton, mainly copepods. Hermaphrodite, spawning probably occurs in the North Atlantic in a belt stretching across the ocean in subtropical latitudes. Specimens approaching sexual maturity lose their teeth and gillrakers completely (Ref. 6689) suggesting semelparity (RF).
