Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

A mesopelagic species, found primarily below 200 m depth (Ref. 36655). All studied specimens were reported to have been sampled by nonclosing gears from the depth of more than 2000 m that one cannot conclude about the exact sampling depth and the depth range of this species; notably, larger specimens occur deeper than young ones (Ref. 117119). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 36655).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.6 - 12.4, mean 5.5 (based on 13 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00451 - 0.02668), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
