Etymology:
Gigantactis:
Greek, 'gigas' or 'gigantos' = gigantic + Greek, 'aktis' = ray (referring to the unusually long first dorsal-fin spine that functions as a lure in this genus) (Ref.
86949
)
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 300 - 5300 m (Ref.
559
), usually 700 - 1300 m (Ref.
117245
). Deep-water; 68°N - 57°S, 180°W - 180°E
Tropical and temperate parts of all oceans. North-eastern Atlantic: single record at 62°39'N, 33°45'W. Absent from Mediterranean (Ref.
36125
).

Esca covered with minute spines and bearing distally-flattened papillae; elongate, darkly pigmented distal prolongation attached to escal bulb; short, black filaments concentrated around tip of the prolongation; escal bulb with 2-3 unpigmented filaments; close-set pair of small appendages on posterior margin of illicium some distance below bulb (Ref.

); length of illicium less than 120% SL (71-112% SL in specimens greater than 25 mm); relatively long dentary teeth (longest 2.6-5.0% SL) in three longitudinal series; length of rays of caudal fin less than 45% SL (Ref.
86949
).
Rarely caught (Ref.
