Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 6181)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 19; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 14 - 15; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais moles: 12 - 13; Vértebras: 34. Body moderately elongate and compressed. Two lateral lines, the lower originating below the 6th to the 7th spine of the first dorsal fin, descending sharply to ventral contour of body, dividing into a short anterior branch and a much longer posterior branch. The pelvic fin represented by 1 spine and 2 tiny soft rays in smaller specimens but entirely absent in specimens over 10 cm SL. Body color is brownish, fins hyaline; first dorsal fin with a black blotch distally on two anterior membranes.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Adults are probably benthopelagic from 400 to 470 m while juveniles are pelagic from 270 to 400 m depth.
