Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 16; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 21 - 24. Color: silvery pink; tip of lower jaw distinctly curved up; large teeth in lower jaw; gill rakers tooth-like, on bony base (Ref. 232).
Mesopelagic to bathypelagic. Carnivorous. Probably spawns near the surface in temperate to tropical waters (Ref. 5759). Has been supposed to be one of the 'cable-biters'; reconstructions from big teeth found in submarine cables suggests that it attains at least 100 cm body-length (Ref. 4474).
