Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 123 - 125. Body long, compressed, tapering to a fine point posteriorly; anus situated between pelvic fins widely separated from the urogenital opening situated anterior to anal fin origin. A striated light organ is present on the ventral half of the body and on the sides of the head. Pyloric caeca absent. First pelvic fin ray long, filamentous, reaching to anus when depressed. Color is silvery, the dorsal portions slightly brownish, purplish ventrally; oral cavity darker.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.4 - 16.5, mean 10.6 °C (based on 27 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00339 (0.00129 - 0.00890), b=3.11 (2.89 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 38.7 [19.0, 99.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.528 [0.209, 1.238] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [15.1, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.239 [0.104, 0.522] g/100g; Selenium = 16.8 [6.5, 40.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.6 [3.6, 84.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.366 [0.228, 0.582] mg/100g (wet weight);
