الحجم / وزن / العمر
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.3 cm TL ذكر/ مختلط الجنس; (Ref. 4494); 44.0 cm TL (female)
الأشواك الظهرية (المجموع) : 1; الأشعة الظهرية الناعمة (المجموع) : 4 - 5; شوكة شرجية: 0; أشعه شرجية لينه: 4; فقرات: 20. A large median and two small lateral oval caruncles immediately in front of origin of dorsal fin (Ref. 13608). Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Males dwarfed, becoming parasitic on females. Maximum size of free-living males is 1.05 cm (Ref. 4494). Females are oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494 ).
Females are oviparous, males are parasitic (Ref. 36494).
