Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9 - 11; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 9 - 12; Vertèbres: 39 - 41. Branchiostegal rays: 9-11 (Ref. 36606).
Epipelagic and neritic, usually at surface in warm coastal waters (Ref. 33606). May leap out of the water and glide for considerable distances above the surface. Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36606). Eggs are attached to floating objects via long filaments (Ref. 36606).
