Larval-fish of Manefish - ヤエギスの稚魚

This is larval-fish of  Caristius macropus  (Bellotti, 1903) . Body length was SL20 mm. Larval-fish is known to be with jellyfishes of Siphonophorae such as Agalma okenii , Apolemia uvaria and  Rosacea cymbiformis . This time it was with A. okenii . Since it departs from jellyfish when diver approaching too much, dependency on the host seems to be low.  Adult is  bathypelagic . It's habitat depth range 250 - 1420 m . Larvae habitat from surface.  C. macropus has lateral line, but closely related species of  Paracaristius nudarcus has not lateral line. The width of the eyes and the maxilla is narrow. Dorsal soft rays: 33-35 , Anal soft rays: 21-23 .
