पारिस्थितिकी
समुद्री ड़िमरसल; गहराई सीमा 25 - 600 m (Ref. 9563), usually 50 - 350 m (Ref. 47377). Subtropical; 66°N - 43°S, 180°W - 180°E
Western Atlantic: Gulf of Maine to Argentina (Ref. 37039). Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. Indo-West Pacific. Mainly in temperate latitudes between 20° and 40°N. Presence in Somalia to be confirmed (Ref. 30573).
आकार / वज़न / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 4508); common length : 12.0 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 4508)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 6 - 8; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 11 - 13; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 18 - 20; जानवरों की रीड़ का जोड़: 24. Reddish pink in color, silvery below (Ref. 5382). Body compressed, without scales. Mouth is placed at the end of the long tubular snout (Ref. 35388). Snout length (6.1cm), length of second dorsal spine (LDS 3.9 cm) (Ref. 39875).
Found between the seabed and midwater on the lower continental shelf, over sand. Juveniles found in oceanic surface waters (Ref. 2683); adults normally live close to the bottom (normally in 50-350 m depth (Ref. 47377)). Gregarious. Juveniles feed mainly on pelagic invertebrates, mainly copepods, while adults feed on bottom invertebrates (Ref. 6732). Seems to be sympatric with Macroramphosus gracilis (Lowe, 1839) all around the world (Ref. 89357).
