Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 17 - 20; Vertebre: 58 - 61. Pyloric caeca, 16-26.

Individuals of 20-22 cm SL, feeds on various types of plankton, almost exclusively deep-sea copepods of Pareuchaeta. Larger specimens also feed on squid, shrimp, and fish (Ref. 35945).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.3 - 5.7, mean 3.4 °C (based on 98 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 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. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
