FBname: Scaly rockcod
Remark: The genus <i>Pseudotrematomus</i> is a synonym of <i>Trematomus</i>, which is confirmed by a molecular study to be published (J.-C. Hureau, pers. comm. 08 Jun. 2010).
Comments: Found more commonly at depths greater than 300 m.  Adults feed on amphipods (mainly <i>Orchomene plebs</i>), errant polychaetes, and in lesser amounts, fishes.  Isopods and other crustaceans are probably included in the diet.
