Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 4 - 6; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 4; Vertèbres: 18 - 19. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36492). First dorsal spine modified to form a lure called illicium (Ref. 36492).
Found on sand bottom (Ref. 2850). Adults feed on small crustaceans and fish (Ref. 4525). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36492). Eggs are presumably contained in floating rafts (Ref. 36492).
