Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino benthopelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 730 - 2560 m (Ref. 3974). Deep-water
Circumglobal, tropical to temperate. Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, except Mediterranean.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 41039)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12. Body white to grey-brown in color, underside darker (Ref. 3974). Insertion of the pelvic fin only slightly anterior to the origin of the dorsal fin. Lacks scale on the opercle (Ref. 37108).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs on the middle and lower slope primarily above the 4°C isotherm. Hovers within a few meters of substrate, parallel to it or inclined at varying angles (Ref. 6727). Feeds on polychaetes, pelecypods, amphipods and other benthic prey (Ref. 6727).
