Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea: Positively known only from Madeira, Sicily (Italy), Strait of Gibraltar, and the adjacent Atlantic Ocean off southern Portugal. Can be expected to range widely in the eastern and perhaps central North Atlantic. Central and eastern Atlantic records from Japanese longliner's data need clarification. Highly migratory species.

Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 184 cm FL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 43); 181.0 cm FL (female); poids max. publié: 21.5 kg (Ref. 43); poids max. publié: 21.5 kg

Further study is strongly needed to clarify the validity of this species. Probably oceanic. Length has been transferred from 'Body length' to FL (* 0.15).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 14.3 - 19.1, mean 17.1 (based on 37 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5630 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00193 - 0.01034), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
