Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14 - 17; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 14; Vértebra: 46 - 48. Branchiostegal rays: 7.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Mesopelagic, but also probably associated with the bottom (Ref. 35724). Oviparous, with mesopelagic larvae, probably found in deeper waters (Ref. 35724).
