Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8 - 9; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 16 - 18; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 1 - 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 14; Ryggkotor: 31. Body almost uniformly dark brown, becoming almost black with age. Pelvic fins well developed, with I spine and 5 soft rays (Ref. 9784). Prominent lateral keel on caudal peduncle, flanked by smaller accessory keels above and below (Ref. 26938).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occurs mainly over the continental slope, down to 200 m and more (Ref. 6181). Migrates upward at night (Ref. 6181). Feeds on squid, crustaceans and a wide variety of fishes (Ref. 6181). Flesh oily and may have purgative properties (Ref. 9784). Sometimes caught by tuna long-liners (Ref. 26938). Marketed frozen and as fish cakes in Japan (Ref. 9302).
