Juveniles epipelagic, adults benthopelagic (Ref. 58302).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Observations based on the lack of occurrence of individuals older than 3 years in the seamounts may suggest that P. wheeleri may spawn in only one or two seasons and die afterwards (Ref. 57888).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.5 - 11.5, mean 7.8 (based on 14 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5157 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm = 6-7).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).
