(See ETYFish);  brunneus: Medieval Latin for brown, referring to its “uniform warm brown” color above and below. (See ETYFish).

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0. Dark brown, with conspicuous light posterior margin on fins (Ref. 247).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Inhabits the outer continental shelf and upper slope (Ref. 244). Found over muddy or sandy bottoms (Ref. 27436). Feeds on small true shrimps, euphausiid shrimps, squids, and small fishes (Ref. 244). Oviparous (Ref. 50449).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproducción | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larva

Oviparous, with a single egg per oviduct (Ref. 244). Eggs are enclosed in oblong transparent cases with tendrils at each end (Ref. 6885). Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). In Canada, females carry egg cases from February to August (Ref. 244).
