Caristiidae (Manefishes)
Etymology: Caristius: Name presumably named after Carystus, a demi-god of Greek mythology.
More on author: Borodin.
Taxonomic Remarks
A further revision of caristiid taxonomy will establish the correct genus for the species (see Britz & Hartel, 2012, Ref. 92346).

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 31 - 34; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 21; Vértebra: 35 - 38. This species is distinguished from C. macropus and C. meridionalis. by having fewer and larger teeth (25 or fewer in each jaw and 4-7 in palatine vs. 18 or more and 3-13, respectively) and fewer vertebrae (35-38 vs. 37-41); from C. digitus by the absence of a series of fingerlike papillae inside the opercle (0 or 1 papilla in C. fasciatus), the short conical pharyngeal teeth (vs. elongate pharyngeal teeth), and fewer gill rakers (18-21 vs. 22-26) (Ref. 94277).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Minimum depth reported (Ref. 27121). From catches of mature females and juveniles, spawning apparently occurs on the periphery of subtropical waters (in the Sargasso Sea, in the zone of the Gulf Stream and off the Azores) (Ref. 95096).
