Ökologie
seewasser pelagic-oceanic; ozeanodrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich ? - 200 m (Ref. 86942). Subtropical
Worldwide in warm seas. Western Indian Ocean: including Reunion and Mauritius (Ref. 33390). Eastern Pacific: off San Francisco in California, USA to Chile, but rare north of Baja California in Mexico. Western Atlantic: Florida in USA and Gulf of Mexico to Brazil (Ref. 7251).

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5288)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 17 - 22; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 21 - 26. Pale grey to white in color.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Host specific on manta rays, but occasionally attaches to sharks. Often occurs inside gill chamber and mouth of host. Also attaches itself to black marlin, Makaira indica, of the Indo-Pacific Region (Ref. 7251). Rarely free-swimming (Ref. 10791). Used in Chinese medicine (Ref. 12166).
