Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 14; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 19; Vértebra: 33 - 35.

High-oceanic, epipelagic to mesopelagic, found in 375-750 m during the day and near the surface to 125 m at night (Ref. 4066, 58302). Adults feed on zooplankton (Ref. 9835). Caudal glands develop in both sexes from about 1.9 cm (Ref. 4775). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 31442).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 6.1 - 13, mean 8.8 (based on 228 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00506 - 0.01977), b=3.16 (2.99 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (K=3.65; tm=0.4; tmax=0.9).

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