Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

A single, cone-shaped terminal bulb 0.9-1.5% SL except in the smallest specimen. Barbel relatively short 25-52% SL except in specimens smaller than 7 cm. A single, simple or bifurcate, short terminal filament 5.1-1.6% SL, decreasing relatively with growth. Proximal end of bulb almost flat, with a solid black cap. Axis of stem moderately to lightly pigmented. No spot usually at the base of both. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (rarely 9) (Ref. 11333).

Mesopelagic at 50-800 m (Ref. 58302). Environment and actual depth range needs verification.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.9 - 20.5, mean 15.3 °C (based on 9 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tmax>3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
