Caristiidae (Manefishes)
Etymology: Caristius: Name presumably named after Carystus, a demi-god of Greek mythology.; macropus: macropus meaning large foot (Ref. 6885).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin bathypélagique; profondeur 200 - 1450 m (Ref. 87086). Deep-water; 66°N -
North Pacific: from subtropical waters to the Bering Sea and the coast of Alaska to where it is apparently drifted by warm currents.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 32.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2850)
Épines dorsales (Total): 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 32-36; Épines anales 0; Rayons mous anaux: 21 - 23; Vertèbres: 37 - 40. This species is distinguished from C. meridionalis by having fewer dorsal-fin rays (32-36 vs. 35-39); distal half of gill rakers with several short bristles, occasionally a small bristle at the tip (vs. several long bristles on distal half of raker and 1-2 long bristles extending from the tip of each raker); and morphology of dorsal pharyngeal papillae (low folds vs. fleshy tabs and small papillae); differs from C. fasciatus by having greater number of smaller teeth and vertebral count ajd the absence of a fingerlike papilla inside the opercle (sometimes absent in C. fasciatus); differs from C. digitus by the absence of a series of fingerlike papillae inside the opercle, having a short conical pharyngeal teeth (vs. elongate pharyngeal teeth), and fewer gill rakers (18-22 vs. 22-26) (Ref. 94277).
Occurs in midwaters in temperate latitudes. Fish remains have been found in manefish stomachs (Ref. 4525). From fry catches, it apparently reproduces in the subtropical zone (Ref. 95096).
