Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in temperate waters (Ref. 9345 ). Seen in groups of 3-20 from the surface to about 24 m (Ref. 5590 ). Feeds mainly on fish . Large individuals may slash prey into pieces before swallowing them. The front of each jaw is toothless and there is a series of large triangular teeth along each side of both jaws (Ref. 28023 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 20.2 - 27.8, mean 23.5 °C (based on 107 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.5   ±0.80 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 ):  High vulnerability (56 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 16.2 [7.6, 42.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.278 [0.133, 0.603] mg/100g; Protein = 20.3 [18.3, 22.0] %; Omega3 = 0.0769 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 28.7 [12.5, 75.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 47.1 [10.2, 232.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.461 [0.287, 0.789] mg/100g (wet weight);
