Doederleinia berycoides
(Hilgendorf, 1879)
Synonyms[1]
  • Anthias berycoides Hilgendorf, 1879
  • Doederleinia orientalis Steindachner & Döderlein, 1883
  • Rhomboserranus gracilispinis Fowler, 1943
  • Doederleinia gracilispinis (Fowler, 1943)

Its head and body are red in color. It lacks the luminous organ present in many other members of the lanternbelly family. It has rows of conical teeth with large canines.[2] The fish grows to a length of 40 centimetres (16 in) TL.[1]

This species is found at depths of 100 to 600 metres (330 to 1,970 ft).[1]

The rosy seabass is of commercial importance as a food fish. This high value has inspired biological and ecological studies that may be useful in the management of its fishery.[3]

The generic name honours the German zoologist Ludwig Heinrich Philipp Döderlein (1855-1936).[1]
