Eastern Atlantic: Morocco to Mauritania and from Liberia to Namibia (absent in Mauritanian Upwelling Region). Indian and Pacific: confined to southern equatorial water masses, extending to 50°N and 50°S in western boundary currents. South China Sea (Ref.74511).

Maturity: L m 2.3   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4479 ); max. published weight: 0.60 g (Ref. 126117 ); max. reported age: 0.90 years (Ref. 4882 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-14; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 16 - 19; Vertebrae : 33 - 35

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

High-oceanic, epipelagic to mesopelagic, found in 375-750 m during the day and near the surface to 125 m at night (Ref. 4066 , 58302 ). Adults feed on zooplankton (Ref. 9835 ). Caudal glands develop in both sexes from about 1.9 cm (Ref. 4775 ). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 31442 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 6.1 - 13, mean 8.8 °C (based on 228 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00506 - 0.01977), b=3.16 (2.99 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=3.65; tm=0.4; tmax=0.9). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
