Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m 44.9   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 72.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4883 ); common length : 50.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2805 ); max. published weight: 3.7 kg (Ref. 4883 )

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults feed mostly on fish and krill. Synchronous spawner (Ref. 50743 ). Larvae have a long pelagic phase (Ref. 71843 ). Utilized as a food fish (Ref. 4931 ).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

There is only one generation of oocytes in the ovaries indicative of determinate fecundity (Ref. 50743 ). Mature females may spawn for the first time from around 6-8 years of age (Ref. 71843 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): -1.3 - 1.6, mean 0 °C (based on 42 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00091 (0.00077 - 0.00107), b=3.49 (3.44 - 3.54), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.17-0.24; Fec = 7,358). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  High to very high vulnerability (75 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 24.2 [13.5, 53.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.45 [0.19, 0.91] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.2, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.23 [0.12, 0.43] g/100g; Selenium = 23.3 [9.2, 53.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.8 [2.2, 52.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.364 [0.235, 0.556] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
