Western Atlantic: Canada to 25°N, and off southern Brazil. Western Pacific: Australia (Ref. 7300 ), New Zealand and Japan (Ref. 37335 ). Also known from Western Indian Ocean. Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 90.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4448 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-13. Body greyish-black to bluish black in color; top of head, gill isthmus and branchiostegal membranes black (Ref. 3974 ). Deeply pigmented sheath of lateral line. Absence of scales on the top of the head and presence of scales on the opercular bone (Ref. 37108 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found on the lower slope, continental rise and upper abyss, primarily between 4° and 2°C isotherms. Feeds on polychaetes, crustaceans, echinoderms and echiurids. Hovers above or rests on bottom. Long slender pectorals are commonly held erect pointing upward and forward, these may serve a sensory function (Ref. 6727 ).
