Ecologia
marinhas bentopelágico; intervalo de profundidade 300 - 1408 m (Ref. 6181). Deep-water; 50°N - 35°S, 105°E - 14°E (Ref. 6181)
Atlantic Ocean: in moderately warm and tropical waters; it has not been found only off the coast of South America. In the eastern Atlantic, it is found off western Sahara, Congo and Angola, from Sierra Leone submarine rise and Pilberry Seamount (Ref. 10818).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 148 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 108735)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 39 - 44; Raios dorsais (total) : 54 - 59; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 46 - 50; Vértebras: 102 - 108. Pelvic fins represented by a single spine in juveniles inserted before the base of the pectoral fins but entirely absent in adults. Body is coppery black with iridescent tint. The inside of the mouth and gill cavities black.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: compressed.
Adults benthopelagic from 800 to 1,350 m, juveniles mesopelagic from 300 to 500 m (Ref. 6181). Up until recently, fisheries catch landings of A. carbo, a sympatric species in the waters of Canary and Madeira islands, were mixed with A. intemedius.
