Etymology: Dissostichus: Greek, disso = twice, one or other + Greek, stix, stichos =line, row (Ref. 45335); eleginoides: eleginoides deriving from the genus Eleginops for an assumed resemblance to that genus (Ref. 11892).

Maturity: Lm 49.0, range 38 - 60 cm
Max length : 215 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 2121); common length : 70.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 2121); publicerad maxvikt: 9.6 kg (Ref. 58336); rapporterad maxålder: 31 år (Ref. 87879)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8 - 10; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 28 - 30; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 28 - 30; Ryggkotor: 53 - 54. Lateral line scales 88-104 (upper), 61-77 (lower).
At 12-15 cm TL, semi-pelagic juveniles become demersal at 150-400 m depth (Ref. 55957). Adults migrate to deeper habitats at depths greater than 1,000 m (Ref. 55957). Utilized as food fish (Ref. 4931).
May spawn for the first time from around 8-10 years of age (Ref. 71843).
