Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 730 - 930 m (Ref. 34024). Deep-water; 5°C - 10°C (Ref. 31446); 30°N - 23°N
Western Atlantic: off eastern Florida, off northern Cuba, and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico off the Florida Keys.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 53.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 31446)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 104 - 108; Raggi anali molli: 85 - 92.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Uncommon species (Ref. 34024). Feed on euphausiid shrimps, gammarid amphipods, fish scales and a midwater myctophid (Ref. 31446). Feeding probably takes place on or just above the bottom, utilizing both benthic and benthopelagic crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 31446). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
