Eastern Central Pacific: Hawaiian Islands, off Baja California, and the Revillagigedo Island. Probably more widely distributed.

Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 26.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5403)

Occur mostly at depths of 100 m or more and has been captured at night at relatively shallow depths (9-46 m). More common around islands (records from the continental coasts are rare) (Ref. 9335). Inhabit rocky bottoms but many specimens have been trawled from relatively open waters in Hawaii (Ref. 5403). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Gonads of specimens collected in Hawaii in November appear to be near spawning condition (Ref. 5403).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.5 - 22.6, mean 20.8 °C (based on 12 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01698 (0.00740 - 0.03896), b=2.91 (2.72 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 43.6 [26.4, 108.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.639 [0.266, 1.254] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [17.1, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.44 [0.24, 0.80] g/100g; Selenium = 13.7 [5.9, 29.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.3 [3.8, 76.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.403 [0.281, 0.593] mg/100g (wet weight);
