Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 13 - 16. This small deep-bodied species is distinguished by the following characters: convex dorsal head profile; second spine of first dorsal fin, spine of second dorsal fin, second spine of anal fin and spine of pelvic fin are serrated; A II + 7; pectoral-fin rays 14-16, pectoral length 20.3-26.5% SL; gill rakers 13-16; pseudobranchial filaments (13) 16-21; first anal-fin pterygiophore is long and straight, with broad tip and hollow; palatines and ectopterygoids are moderately wide, with 1-2 rows of denticles; orbital diameter 11.7-13.6% SL; posterior edge of maxillary plate is slightly concave; without longitudinal ridges on preopercular lobe; otolith very compressed (OL:OH = 1.35-1.4) (Ref. 116586).
Found on the continental slope (Ref. 75154).
