Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 14; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 17 - 20. Anal organs 13-14; males bear 5 luminous scales in supracaudal gland, females has 1-4 scales in infracaudal gland (Ref. 39633).

Neustonic to mesopelagic (Ref. 58302). High-oceanic, nyctoepipelagic at the surface and down to 125 m. Found between 425-750 m during the day. Sexually mature from about 65 mm (Ref. 4479). Proximate analysis (excluding head) reveals that lipid content is 2.0 % in fresh body weight and wax ester is 17.2 % in total lipids (Ref. 9193).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 2.9 - 10.4, mean 6.6 (based on 1525 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00564 - 0.01857), b=3.25 (3.09 - 3.41), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.38 se; based on food items.

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

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

Dasyscopelus asper (Richardson, 1845)
