Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 11 - 13; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 47 - 53. Head grey to black-brown in color; sides of body pale yellow with darker dotted pigmentation; fins colorless except caudal with melanophores and dorsal with light pigmentation (Ref. 3991).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Mesopelagic species (Ref. 7300, 75154). Postlarvae and juveniles occur near the surface at night. In southern Atlantic and southeastern Pacific, adults are usually found at depths between 100-2,000 m (Ref. 3991). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
