Comments: Mesopelagic species (Ref. 75154).  Pronounced sexual dimorphism:  females are black, with well developed canine teeth, barbel and pelvic fins with six stripes.  Males are dark-brown, have no teeth on maxilla and neither barbel nor pelvic fins (Ref. 47377).  Apparently, females live below 500 m during the day and perform vertical migration at night to shallower depths; males always in deep water, ca 1,000-2,000 m (Ref. 5169).
