Cyclothone signata, the showy bristlemouth, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyclothone.[1][2]
Cyclothone alba was originally described as a subspecies of C. signata: Cyclothone signata alba, by Brauer in 1906.[3]
Description
C. signata is disruptively colored,[4] typically being either gray or transparent.[5]
Ecology
The species is usually found to be bimodally distributed among the shallow and deep ends of the mesopelagic zone,[4] and is thought to migrate vertically between them, feeding in the shallow areas, and descending to the deeper ocean to rest.[6]
The species is oviparous.[2] Encounters with the species are rare, but one sample, taken off the coast of the Gulf of Maine in 1915, measured 23mm.[5][7]
