Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 27121)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 113 - 122; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 90. The head is relatively large; the eyes also large. Body tapers abruptly behind the first dorsal fin. Color is swarthy overall, pale ventrally. Back with 8 - 10 broad saddles or bars extending slightly below the lateral line.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 3.1 - 9.1, mean 6.8 °C (based on 333 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00251 (0.00128 - 0.00492), b=3.19 (3.03 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
