Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are benthic on the continental shelf and the upper regions of the continental slope (Ref. 9538 ). Juveniles are pelagic (Ref. 9538 ). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36490 ). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36490 ). Probably caught as a by-catch of trawl fishing (Ref. 9538 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 11.8 - 14.2, mean 13.5 °C (based on 9 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01286 - 0.04082), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.0   ±0.66 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
