Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Common species (Ref. 34024 ). Found between depths of 22 m (Ref. 58489 ) and 1000 m (Ref. 33848 ). Feed mainly on crustaceans such as Munida and scampi and also on fish. Also caught above the bottom when feeding on hoki ( Macruronus novaezelandiae ) during the hoki spawning season. Available all year round. Juveniles are found in shallower shelf waters (Ref. 6390 ). Oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205 ). Utilized fresh, frozen or smoked; can be fried and baked (Ref. 9988 , 34024 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 3.3 - 12.7, mean 7.2 °C (based on 279 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00131 - 0.00366), b=3.17 (3.02 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.2   ±0.76 se; based on food items. Generation time: 11.0 (8.6 - 12.6) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.1-0.23; tmax=30; tm=5-7). Prior r = 0.41, 95% CL = 0.27 - 0.62, Based on 7 stock assessments. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Very high vulnerability (84 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 11.8 [7.2, 25.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.365 [0.190, 0.713] mg/100g; Protein = 15.6 [13.6, 17.7] %; Omega3 = 0.255 [0.136, 0.502] g/100g; Selenium = 31.6 [14.3, 70.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.94 [1.54, 32.25] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.234 [0.157, 0.351] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
