Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 350 - 3000 m (Ref. 1371), usually 1200 - 2700 m (Ref. 5951). Deep-water; 70°N - 68°S, 180°W - 180°E

Circumglobal: Except the North Pacific north of 10°N. Reported from the Walvis Ridge and near the Discovery and Meteor seamounts (Ref. 44938).

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 42.0, range 41 - 43 cm
Max length : 75.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5208); max. published weight: 3.3 kg (Ref. 128737); max. published weight: 3.3 kg; max. reported age: 44 years (Ref. 128738)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 55-61; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 36 - 44; Vertebrae: 57 - 60. Blue-grey to blackish (Ref. 6606).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found on the continental slope and upper rise (Ref. 6606). Epibenthic (Ref. 58426) and benthopelagic (Ref. 5951). Deep waters to 3277 m (Ref. 58426). May move offshore with age and spawn in the deep parts of its range. Off the eastern coast of United States, it is speculated that the population use the area only as feeding grounds with spawning taking place to the north. Feed on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 9319). Maximum weight of female from Ref. 128738.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.9 - 4.6, mean 2.9 °C (based on 4347 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00267 - 0.00411), b=3.15 (3.08 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 22.0 (11.0 - 61.0) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (70 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 19.8 [5.7, 48.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.264 [0.114, 0.738] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.8, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.114 [0.044, 0.291] g/100g; Selenium = 25.8 [8.1, 70.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.4 [2.2, 160.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.507 [0.276, 1.026] mg/100g (wet weight);
