Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 14; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 14; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 13 - 14.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Known only on the basis of specimens caught by a shrimp trawl in 99 to 183 meters (Ref. 7247). Life history characteristics for the family specify that this group is oviparous, with distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
