Description edit
Oneirodes carlsbergi has (in females) a pointed lure (esca) protruding from its forehead; the esca has a tapering, internally pigmented, anterior appendage.[6] The maximum length of females is 15.9 cm (6.3 in).[7][8] It resembles Oneirodes luetkeni but can be distinguished by its large number of jaw teeth.[9]
Habitat edit
Oneirodes carlsbergi is mesopelagic and bathypelagic, living at depths of 100–2,000 m (330–6,560 ft) in tropical to temperate parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.[10] It has also been found in the Banda Sea.[11]
