Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19; Vertebre: 58 - 61. Adipose fin small (Ref. 6885). Dark on head, body and fins; peritoneum, gills, and mouth cavity black (Ref. 6885). Branchiostegal rays: 10 (Ref. 35934).
Larger individuals apparently occur in deeper water than small ones (Ref. 4525). Synchronous hermaphrodites (Ref. 35934). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 35934). Juveniles makes nocturnal vertical migrations to the epipelagic zone (Ref. 43939). A planktivorous fish feeding mainly copepods and euphausiids (Ref. 35945).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 0.3 - 7.2, mean 3.4 °C (based on 266 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00288 (0.00120 - 0.00692), b=3.18 (2.96 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
