Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 1; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 3 - 4; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 4; Vertèbres: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Maximum size observed for free living males is 1.3 cm (Ref. 10524). Males are parasitic, females oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494). Minimum depth from Ref. 037729.
