Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 67 - 70; Raggi anali molli: 60. Body ribbon-like, gradually tapering to a pointed tail. Large, oblique mouth. Teeth widely spaced on both jaws. First two rays of dorsal fin unsegmented. Caudal fin with median rays longer and free at their tip. Dorsal and anal fins more or less joined to the caudal fin.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Found on sand and mud bottom (Ref. 26999). Lives in vertical burrows but may be found swimming in midwater. Occurs singly or in groups. Feeds mainly on small crustaceans and chaetognaths (Ref. 5984).
