摘要: bottom fishes in the world. The great majority are benthopelagic, with a few bathypelagic members. Benthopelagic species usually endemic, and most common on continental slopes, whereas more cosmopolitan distribution. center of distribution for Macrourids is Indo-Pacific region. Little known their life history; eggs thought to ascend after fertilization develop midwatcr below 200 m. Although gut content analyses adults have been performed, fin structure photographs indicate that they feed mostly invertebrates.
