Acropomatidae (Lanternbellies, temperate ocean-basses)
Etymology: Acropoma: Greek, akro = topmost, summit + Greek, poma, -atos = cover (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; benthopelagic; depth range 50 - 400 m (Ref. 96184). Temperate
Northwest Pacific: southern Japan to Taiwan.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 96184)
Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7. Anus nearer the insertion of anal fin than that of pelvic fin. Two very long light organs run from the isthmus to slightly beyond the origin of the anal fin and joined with the opposite organ immediately in front of the anal fin.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 9.7 - 20.9, mean 18.1 °C (based on 126 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00470 - 0.02806), b=3.01 (2.80 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
