Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 1; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 3 - 4; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 4; Σπόνδυλοι: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Maximum size observed for free living males is 1.3 cm (Ref. 10524). Males are parasitic, females oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494). Minimum depth from Ref. 037729.
