Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 39 - 44; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 54-59; Espinas anales 2; Radios blandos anales: 46 - 50; Vértebra: 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.
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.
