However, Kotlyar did not examine any specimens in Australian collections and several <i>Melamphaes</i> species are known to occur in the Tasman Sea, suggesting that specimens designated as <i>Melamphaes longivelis</i> in Australia could now comprise several different species. Given the difficulties with the taxonomy of this group, this code has been made non-active, pending better resolution of specimen identification in Australian collections.","habitat":"Pelagic, Mesopelagic (200-1000m, Oceanic)<br>Marine unspecified<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"","Parent_Id":37251901,"scientificName":"Melamphaes longivelis","kingdom":"Animalia","order":"Stephanoberyciformes","otherVernacularNames":"","Reference":"","vernacularName":"Eyebrow Bigscale","ChildCodes":"","RecordCreatedOn":"1997-01-01","scientificNameID_WoRMS":"","family":"Melamphaidae","standardName":"Eyebrow Bigscale (AS5300)","class":"Actinopterygii","scientificNameID_AFD":"","CAAB_status":"Valid"}
