Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 1; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 3 - 4; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 4; Wervels: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
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.
