Diagnostic Description
provided by Fishbase
Blue-grey to blackish (Ref. 6606).
Morphology
provided by Fishbase
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 55 - 61; Analspines: 0; Analsoft rays: 36 - 44; Vertebrae: 57 - 60
Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Occurred over a wide bathymetric range of 750-2900 m depth in Rockall Trough (Ref. 34143). Found on the continental slope and upper rise (Ref. 6606). May move offshore with age and spawn in the deep parts of its range. Off the eastern coast of United States, it is speculated that the population use the area only as feeding grounds with spawning taking place to the north. Feeds on invertebrates (Ref. 9319); such as crustaceans and squids. Parasite of the species is known to be Lophoura tetraphylla (copepod) (Ref. 5951).

The blue antimora (Antimora rostrata), also known as the flat-nose codling, blue hake, long-finned cod or violet cod, is a benthopelagic species of morid cod of the genus Antimora, found in seas around the world on the continental shelf except the north Pacific. This bluish-black species may be found at depths of between 350 and 3,000 m(1,148 to 9.843 ft), but it is commonly found at depths of 800-1800m. Its length is between 40 and 75 cm (15.7 to 29.5 inches). It is of minor importance to commercial fisheries.[3]
