Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

High-oceanic, schooling, found between 650-700 m during the day and between 51-250 m at night with size stratification with depth (Ref. 4479). Depth range from 460-1082 m1 in the eastern Ionian Sea (Ref. 56504). Juveniles are nyctoepipelagic at the surface. Feeds on copepods and adult or larval forms of other planktonic crustaceans (Ref. 4775).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.7 - 14.2, mean 8.6 °C (based on 494 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00283 - 0.00889), b=3.16 (3.00 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.38 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 0.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tmax=2; Fec=2,134; K=1.3-3.65;).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 198 [55, 540] mg/100g; Iron = 0.649 [0.223, 2.202] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.2, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.641 [0.226, 1.734] g/100g; Selenium = 20.9 [6.3, 75.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 55.6 [6.1, 502.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.23 [0.59, 2.66] mg/100g (wet weight);
