Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 3 - 4; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 4; Vertebre: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Maximum size observed for free living males is 1.3 cm (Ref. 10524). Males are parasitic, females oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494). Minimum depth from Ref. 037729.
