Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes( genus , species ) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa Teleostei (teleosts) > Perciformes/Bembropoidei (Duckbill flatheads) > Bembropidae (Duckbill flatheads) Etymology: Bembrops: Greek, bembras, -ados = a kind of anchovy m+ Greek, ops = appearance (Ref. 45335 ) ;   heterurus: Specific name probably from the Greek 'heteros' meaning different and 'oura' meaning tail. . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; demersal; depth range 50 - 400 m (Ref. 6948 ), usually 80 - 200 m (Ref. 47377 ). Deep-water; 12°N - Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Western Atlantic: off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Uruguay. Eastern Atlantic: Mauritania to the extreme northern waters of Namibia (Ref. 6948 , 27121 ). The eastern Atlantic form referred to as Bembrops heterurus is unlikely to be conspecific with the Brazilian form, thus further taxonomic study is needed to clarify this situation (Ref. 6948 ). Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 28.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 6948 ); common length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2683 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-15; Anal soft rays : 16 - 18. Color in alcohol light yellowish to yellowish brown dorsally, light yellowish brown to creamy brown ventrally. Upper lobe of caudal fin elongated at an acute angle. Snout relatively short, 1.0-1.4x eye diameter. Scales on lateral and dorsal surfaces of snout including area in front of eye. Upper jaw extending behind anterior margin of eye but not reaching its mid-line. Maxillary tentacle short. Lateral line descending gradually along dorsal edge of pectoral fin, separated from origin of first dorsal fin by 4 or 5 rows of scales, from origin of anal fin by 6 or 7, and from insertion of anal fin by 3-5. Pectoral fin moderately rounded. Lower lobe truncate or rounded (Ref 13203). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found on soft bottoms of the continental shelf and feeds on crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 3656 ).
