Ökologie
seewasser bathydemersal; tiefenbereich 1550 - 4903 m (Ref. 58302), usually 2000 - ? m (Ref. 4472). Deep-water; 50°N - 20°S, 180°W - 180°E
Circumglobal between latitude 50°N-20°S except tropical eastern Pacific. Eastern Atlantic: northern Ireland; Morocco to Gabon.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 78.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4472); common length : 40.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4472)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 16 - 17; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 13; Wirbelzahl: 50 - 51. Moderately elongate and slender. Slightly depressed anteriorly and compressed posteriorly. Color generally white, with peritoneum, branchial and buccal regions dark. Small specimens have faint vertical bars (Ref. 37039).
Benthic (Ref. 58302). Found on the continental rise and the abyss, commonly below 2,000 m, in water colder than 4°C. Larvae are probably pelagic in near-surface midwaters. Solitary, lurking bottom feeder. Probably piscivore (Ref. 4964).
