Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 16; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 14; Vértebra: 39.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Is apparently the deepest dwelling of all whalefishes. Four captures were made with closing nets and all other captures were made by open nets fishing (Ref. 9791). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
