Descripción
Pagetopsis maculata is greyish-green but whitish ventrally with 15 irregularly shaped dark cross-bars on each side of its body that are lighter at the centre. Dark stripes are also present on the cheek and otherwise uniformly blackish first dorsal fin. The pelvic fin is also striped. The dorsal fins contain 9 to 12 spines and 25 to 27 soft rays while the anal fin has 22 to 24 soft rays. The maxilla reaches to or just beyond the front of the orbit. This species attains a maximum total length of 25 cm (9.8 in).
Distribución y hábitat
Pagetopsis maculata has a circum-Antarctic distribution on the continental shelf from 200 to 800 m (660 to 2,620 ft). They have large eyes, the colour pattern and the reported depths of capture seem to infer that this bathydemersal species inhabits deeper water than its congener Pagetopsis macropterus. This species has a long larval pelagic phase and is of no interest to commercial fisheries.
