Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Vertèbres: 90 - 93. Pelvic fins small (Ref. 4695). Young with pale, yellowish-brown body, with 6-8 light and narrow cross bands which are more distinct on the dorsal fin; larger individuals lose the bands, becoming more or less uniformly colored (Ref. 4695).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found on muddy bottoms (Ref. 4695). Benthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds mostly on endobenthic prey such as small bivalves, polychaetes and small crustaceans in addition to detritus. It seems to get the bulk of its food by burrowing in the sediment (Ref. 13532). Ripe females recorded in September in the Kara Sea (Ref. 4695). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
