Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 20 - 22; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 19 - 24; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 21; Vértebra: 34 - 36. Body fairly elongate and strongly compressed. Mouth with fang-like teeth. The tips of both jaws with dermal processes. Gill rakers degenerated. Color is dark brown with violet tint; fin membranes black; margin of anus black (Ref. 6181).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults, benthopelagic to mesopelagic, dwell on the continental slope or underwater rises, migrating to midwater at night (Ref. 6181). Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 6766). Larvae and juveniles, epipelagic to mesopelagic, are rather common in oceanic ichthyoplankton and are only found in the tropics (Ref. 6181). Feed on squid, fish and crustaceans (Ref. 6181). Consumed as food (Ref. 4537).
