Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 6 - 9; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 8 - 9; Afterflossenstacheln: 3 - 6; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7 - 8; Wirbelzahl: 30 - 32.
Mesopelagic, bathy-, and benthopelagic rare species, mostly occurring over continental and island slopes. Distinctive kasidoron larval and pre-juvenile stage in epipelagic waters. Zooplankton pickers, with small crustaceans in stomachs of both pre-juveniles and adults (Ref. 9788). The largest specimen collected from Taiwan (10.3 cm SL) is a mature female with two large ovaries containing many large, loose eggs (c. 0.6-0.7 mm); while three other specimens (9.72-10.1 and 10.07 cm SL) are mature males with well-developed testis (Ref. 129007).
