Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 0 - 4000 m (Ref. 38732 ), usually 100 - 1000 m (Ref. 7344 ). Deep-water; 40°N - 40°S

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 23.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4475 ); common length : 20.0 cm NG male/unsexed; (Ref. 5755 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-12; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 14 - 16. Brownish above, sides silvery, iridescent, with black peritoneum showing through (Ref. 7344 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Meso- and bathypelagic at 700-1830 m (Ref. 58302 ). Probably swift swimmers, which can avoid nets, captured singly or in small groups (Ref. 6692 ). Carnivorous, feed on squids and pelagic fishes (Ref. 6692 ). Oviparous and are synchronous hermaphrodites (Ref. 84733 ).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Are synchronous hermaphrodites, gonads consist of clearly defined and well separated ovarian and testicular regions with no indication of sequential maturation of the sex products (Ref. 84733 ). Also Ref. 103751.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 4.8 - 21.3, mean 10.5 °C (based on 2379 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.5000   [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 ):  4.3   ±0.64 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-4). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
