Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 14 - 17; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 14; Ryggkotor: 46 - 48. Branchiostegal rays: 7.
Mesopelagic, but also probably associated with the bottom (Ref. 35724). Oviparous, with mesopelagic larvae, probably found in deeper waters (Ref. 35724).
