Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 8 - 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 28-30; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 28 - 30; Vértebra: 53 - 54. Lateral line scales 88-104 (upper), 61-77 (lower).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

At 12-15 cm TL, semi-pelagic juveniles become demersal at 150-400 m depth (Ref. 55957). Adults migrate to deeper habitats at depths greater than 1,000 m (Ref. 55957). Utilized as food fish (Ref. 4931).

Life cycle and mating behavior Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva
