Etymology: Scopelosaurus: Greek, skopelos = a lantern fish + Greek, sauros = lizard (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Hugh McCormick Smith (1865–1941) was an American physician (1888) who became an ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 17 - 19; Vértebras: 53 - 56. Blackish on head and back; paler below (Ref. 6602). No distinct black spot surrounding anus (Ref. 13608).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Larvae are epipelagic, young inhabit the layers between 50-200 m, adults benthopelagic and found deeper than 500 m over continental and insular slopes (Ref. 6552, 6602). Mesopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds mainly on zooplankton. Extensive migrations by juveniles and adults, probably for feeding in the subtropical belts. Spawning occurs in tropical waters, especially in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean (Ref. 6689).
