Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 12 - 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 14; Ryggkotor: 34 - 36. Adipose small, narrow based, slender (Ref. 6885). Brown to black on dorsal surface, lighter ventrally; fins pale (Ref. 6885). Branchiostegal rays: 9 (Ref. 31442).

Epipelagic to mesopelagic (Ref. 31442). Feed at night or in the morning (Ref. 9199), on euphausiids, copepods, and amphipods (Ref. 11712). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 31442).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.8 - 15.3, mean 7.9 °C (based on 504 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00436 - 0.02294), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 2.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).
