Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 39 - 44; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 54 - 59; Anale stekels: 2; Anale zachte stralen: 46 - 50; Wervels: 102 - 108. Pelvic fins represented by a single spine in juveniles inserted before the base of the pectoral fins but entirely absent in adults. Body is coppery black with iridescent tint. The inside of the mouth and gill cavities black.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: compressed.
Adults benthopelagic from 800 to 1,350 m, juveniles mesopelagic from 300 to 500 m (Ref. 6181). Up until recently, fisheries catch landings of A. carbo, a sympatric species in the waters of Canary and Madeira islands, were mixed with A. intemedius.
