Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8 - 10; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 28 - 30; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 28 - 30; Ryggkotor: 53 - 54. Lateral line scales 88-104 (upper), 61-77 (lower).

At 12-15 cm TL, semi-pelagic juveniles become demersal at 150-400 m depth (Ref. 55957). Adults migrate to deeper habitats at depths greater than 1,000 m (Ref. 55957). Utilized as food fish (Ref. 4931).
