Muraenolepididae (Eel cods)
Etymology: Muraenolepis: Latin, muraena = morey eel + Greek, lepis = scale (Ref. 45335); pacifica: The name of the species is related to its origin in the Pacific Ocean (Ref. 78500).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
marien bathydemersaal; diepte 200 - 450 m (Ref. 76910). Deep-water; 53°S - 59°S, 141°W - 140°W (Ref. 76910)
South Pacific: Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, Ridge of Hercules.

Max length : 39.0 cm TL (female)
Korte beschrijving
Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 173 - 187; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 126 - 133; Wervels: 72 - 75. The caudal part is shorter in proportions. The postanal distance over the body length, and the postanal distance over the ante-anal distance are diagnostic, especially on the field. Other Muraenolepis are quite different.
