Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 24; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 38; Ryggkotor: 68. Two terminal bulbs separated by an interspace, 1.4-3.6 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length mostly 36-65% SL. Terminal filaments 7-10, arising together from distal bulb or from a short stem; all prominent bulblets of various sizes and with side branches distally; 1 filament a little thicker than others and usually forked. Pigment in filament axes variably present or absent. Distal bulb small, ovoid, usually with an abruptly narrowed distal end, 1.5- 3 times proximal-bulb length, which is very small. Axis of stem and between bulbs usually pigmented, variably light or dark, sometimes unpigmented. A black spot almost always present at proximal end of distal bulb; usually partially capping base of bulb. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas on stem pigmented or not. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8, sometimes 7 (Ref. 11333).

Mesopelagic (Ref. 58302).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.8 - 15.2, mean 8.9 °C (based on 6 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Assuming tmax>3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
