Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 5 - 12; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 2; Taggstrålar i analfenan 14-17; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 125 - 145; Ryggkotor: 225 - 239. Presence of palatine and dentary teeth in two or more rows. Numerous dorsal spines. Small specimens are pale tan or pale bluish gray, large specimens are dark brown (Ref. 37108).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302) and epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Not uncommon in depths around 180 m off Iceland and Greenland. Individuals with nearly ripe eggs have been found in late autumn off Iceland. Mostly found at depths well below 200 m, but enters slightly shallower water on Grand Banks in Canada (Ref. 7251). Feeds primarily on sea anemones (Ref. 4449).
