Environment: milieu / Zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas bentopelágico; intervalo de profundidade 50 - 1000 m (Ref. 9784). Deep-water; 42°N - 38°S, 180°W - 180°E

Comprimento de primeira maturação / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ?, range 16 - ? cm
Max length : 33.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 9784); common length : 20.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 6181)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 30 - 36; Raios dorsais (total) : 35 - 44; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 28 - 35; Vértebras: 57 - 64. Body is extremely elongate and compressed. Lower jaw extends anterior to upper jaw with a small conical dermal process. Upper jaw with 3 immovable and 3 or 4 movable fang-like teeth anteriorly. Lateral line situated closer to the ventral profile than the dorsal profile posteriorly. Color is silvery with narrow dark dotted lines along the body; the gill membranes are jet-black.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Oceanic, migrating upward at night to 100 to 200 m (Ref. 6181). Probably forming schools during daytime (Ref. 6181). Feed on crustaceans and small fish (Ref. 6181). Females mature at about 16 cm (Ref. 36731). Eggs and larvae are pelagic (Ref. 6766).
