Espinhos dorsais (total) : 17 - 18; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 15; Espinhos anais: 1; Raios anais moles: 15 - 17; Vértebras: 33. Lateral line single, slightly curving anteriorly, then fairly straight and oblique. Body is dark blue with metallic tint (Ref. 6181).
Mesobenthopelagic (Ref. 47377). Inhabits the continental slope (Ref. 6181). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 6181) and euphausiids (Ref. 47377). Since 1980, no catches have been reported, except for 21 t caught in 1990 by Argentina (Ref. 6181). Good for smoked fish and fish and chips (Ref. 6181).
