Etymology: Aethotaxis: Greek, aethia, = unusual + Greek, taxis = disposition (Ref. 45335); mitopteryx: The specific name is derived from the Greek word mitos (thread or string) and pteryx (wing), referring to the filamentous nature of the first dorsal spines and pelvic rays (Ref. 11892).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
पारिस्थितिकी
समुद्री बैथीपिलाजिक; गहराई सीमा 400 - 1500 m (Ref. 127764). Deep-water
Southern Ocean: islands of the Scotia Sea, Weddell Sea, Prydz Bay and the Ross Sea. A separate subspecies may be present in the Ross Sea population, but this needs more evidence (Ref. 5179). Reported from Olaf Prydz Bay, Mackenzie Sea, Indian sector of the Antarctic (Ref. 44178).
आकार / वज़न / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 44.3 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 124149); 33.6 cm TL (female); अधिकतम प्रकाशित वज़न: 563.60 g (Ref. 124149)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 7; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 34; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 30. Gray with violet hue and lighter below with metallic luster. In alcohol, purplish gray or light brown dorsally (Ref. 11892).
Feeds on zooplankton. The storage of lipids in cells of adipose tissue as well as the reduced calcification of the skeleton provide buoyancy to this species.
