Info

Beryx decadactylus belongs to the family of slimeheads, typical for this species is a high, laterally flattened body, a large head with a huge mouth and large eyes, and powerful spiny rays in the fins.
Juvenile animals also have strong spines on the head.

There are various different data on the depth distribution, as well as on the weight of the fish.

The specific name Decadactylus is derived from the Latin deci- (= ten) and the Greek daktylos (= finger) and refers to the pelvic fins, which have 10 soft rays in this species.

Zum Foto mit der Koralle : Gemeinfrei
Beryx decadactylus (alfonsino) schwebt um eine große Lophelia-Koralle. Viele Fische nutzen den Lebensraum der tiefen Korallen in ähnlicher Weise wie Fische in flachen Korallensystemen, und dies ist ein wichtiger Schwerpunkt unserer Forschung.
