Etymology: Eustomias: Greek, eu = good + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); pacificus: Named after the Pacific Ocean, to which this species is endemic.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batipelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 1000 m (Ref. 11333). Deep-water

Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.7 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 11333)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24; Raggi anali molli: 39; Vertebre: 69. A single, ovoid terminal bulb 0.8-1.8% SL, with nipple-like distal protuberance. Barbel 41-58% SL. A single but complex terminal filament with 2 long branches arising together near its base, followed by 1-5 large bulblets, then by 2 shortest branches arising together, each usually with a prominent large bulblet; all branches and the main filament with numerous, prominent small bulblets. Filament length 12% SL. Axis of stem lightly or unpigmented; a prominent, wide, black circle forming a cap at base of terminal bulb. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin usually 7, sometimes 8. Anterior margin of fleshy orbit with a distinct slender pedicel extending posteriorly over the eye (Ref. 11333).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Mesopelagic (Ref. 58302). Environment and depth range needs to be checked.
