Range and Identity
Lophiodes beroe is retained as the species identity. Its northwestern Atlantic account should remain separate from larger goosefishes whose common names may be shortened in fishing records. Similar body shape does not authorize borrowing another species' range or maximum measurements.
Habitat and Behavior
The compilation describes an association with dead Lophelia coral rubble. This is an observed habitat context, not proof that every individual must occupy coral or that the same substrate is preferred at all locations. Exact capture depth and bottom observations are useful evidence.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is forty centimeters standard length, while the common-length value uses total length. Those conventions should not be compared directly without recognizing their different endpoints. A detailed feeding list and independent maximum mass were not established in the checked summary.
Field Note
Keep length convention and scientific identification with measurements. Goosefish names can cover several fishes, and a large value from a different species should not become the apparent maximum for this smaller named account.
