Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 256 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 106604)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The maximum size was based on jaws of a specimen in the personal collection of M. Harris (Harris, 2015, pers. comm.); but reported lengths up to 290 cm and 300 cm TL need further confirmation (Ref. 106604).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5012   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 12.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 6.67 [1.34, 28.52] mg/100g; Iron = 0.209 [0.053, 0.587] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [17.0, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.342 [0.149, 0.769] g/100g; Selenium = 17.4 [5.5, 47.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 5.27 [1.62, 17.02] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.327 [0.160, 0.592] mg/100g (wet weight);
