Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal soft rays : 8 - 9; Vertebrae : 46 - 47. Body deep. Short pectoral fins, long ventral fins. Relatively large head and absence of ventral light organs. Line of dark chromatophores along the body below lateral line (Ref. 37473 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Oceanic and mesopelagic species (Ref. 6686 ). Taken regularly at depths shallower than 458 m, with scientific deep-sea fishing gear. Feed mainly on small crustaceans, particularly copepods (Ref. 4525 ). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 35626 ) and eggs (Ref. 6686 ). Paedomorphic (Ref. 35626 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 3 - 5, mean 4.1 °C (based on 66 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00170 - 0.01121), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items. Generation time: 2.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).
