Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae : 43 - 44. This species is distinguished from its congeners by a set of characteristics: from C. braueri by the teeth on second ceratobranchial absent (vs. present) and supraorbital canal pores 7 (vs. 8); from C. harteli by total vertebrae 43-45 (vs. 47-48), supraorbital canal pores 7 (vs. six); from C. microcephalus by teeth on basibranchials well developed, 3-18, always present on second basibranchial and often on third basibranchial and second hypobranchial (vs. usually no teeth on basibranchials, rarely 1-3, small, restricted to second basibranchial); from C. pluriradiatus and C. asper , by pectoral-fin rays 13-14 (vs. 15-16), tiny dermal spinules on body of specimens larger than 45.0 mm absent (vs. with spinules), fang in premaxillary head 1 (vs. 2), and supraorbital pores 7 (vs. 8 and 9, respectively) and from C. pluriradiatus by lateral-line pores 86-93 (vs. 91-94); from C. subniger , by teeth on second basibranchial present (vs. none), infraorbital pores 14 (vs. 12-13, modally 13), snout elongate and pointed, 22.2-26.6% HL (vs. snout short and blunt, 21.4-23.9% HL), upper jaw 72.2-80.0% HL (vs. 63.9-72.7% HL), and lower jaw 80.0-86.7% HL (vs. 69.0-76.7% HL) (Ref. 82429 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Mesopelagic to bathypelagic species (Ref. 6944 , 28429 ). Specimens larger than 4.5 cm are more frequently collected between 730 and 1900 m with shallowest record being 150 m, the deepest 3900 m (mean 1390 m). Juveniles are found in shallower water, from 0 to 1,050 m (mean 542 m), with the smallest specimens (>10.0 mm) collected nearest to the surface (Ref. 82429 ). Feed on whole fish, often of individuals longer than themselves (Ref. 9686 ). Most specimens were taken at depths greater than 750 m (Ref. 6649 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 4.2 - 8.7, mean 4.9 °C (based on 355 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5078   [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 ):  4.2   ±0.73 se; based on food items. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 16.1 [5.5, 59.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.607 [0.217, 1.659] mg/100g; Protein = 2.57 [0.00, 6.41] %; Omega3 = 0.382 [0.156, 0.978] g/100g; Selenium = 14.6 [4.3, 51.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.3 [3.4, 71.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.383 [0.190, 0.761] mg/100g (wet weight);
