Macrouridae (Grenadiers or rattails)
Etymology: Nezumia: A Japanese word that means "mouse" .
More on authors: Iwamoto & Anderson.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 400 - 1600 m (Ref. 11953). Deep-water
Southeast Atlantic and Southwest Indian Ocean: known only from off Saldanha Bay, Cape west coast to Richards Bay, Natal, South Africa.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 38.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 11953)
Although most captures have been made with bottom trawls, specimens have recently been taken in midwater trawls fished close to the bottom, suggesting forays to the water column by individuals of different sizes (Ref. 11953).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 2.1 - 9.4, mean 6.3 °C (based on 41 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00111 - 0.00431), b=3.20 (3.03 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
