Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 51 - 57; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 13; Vertebre: 88 - 92. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters (counts & % in parentheses for lectotype): no supraneural bones; dorsal-fin rays 51-57 (mode 52); total vertebrae 88-92 (91); pored lateral-line scales 79-89 (84); pre-dorsal scale rows 3-8 (8); head length 24-32 % (mean 30 %) of SL); pectoral-fin length 16-21 % (19 %) of SL; pre-dorsal-fin length 27-34 % (30 %) of SL; dorsal-fin base length 53-64 % (60 %) of SL; postorbital length 13-16 % (14 %) of SL; upper caudal-fin length 18-31 % (24 %) of SL (Ref. 109573).
Common on the continental slope (Ref. 2683). Found on muddy bottoms (Ref. 27121). Feeds on benthic copepods and polychaetes (Ref. 27637).
