Etymology: Gigantactis: Greek, 'gigas' or 'gigantos' = gigantic + Greek, 'aktis' = ray (referring to the unusually long first dorsal-fin spine that functions as a lure in this genus) (Ref. 86949).
Eponymy: Dr Giles Willis Mead Jr (1928–2003) was an American zoologist and curator. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 6; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 6. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: have filaments on dorsal surface of head just behind base of the illicium; length of illicium less than 120% SL (72-96% SL); presence of short filaments along entire posterior margin of illicium; escal bulb with an elongate spinulose and darkly pigmented distal prolongation bearing distally flattened papillae; presence of short distal and slender proximal escal filaments; absence of posterior pair of close-set illicial appendage; relatively long dentary teeth (longest 2.9-3.8% SL) in five or six longitudinal series; short caudal fin rays (less than 30% SL) (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2 - 2.8, mean 2.4 °C (based on 66 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).
