Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 25. Body elongate, compressed, with large cycloid scales. Body uniformly blackish-brown in young, black dorsally, paler ventrally in adults. Distinguished by its anal fin element counts, lack of fin spine with serration on the anterior edge, and 3 to 6 large canine-like teeth on lateral side of the lower jaw.

Found on the continental slope (Ref. 7300). Marketed fresh or made into fishmeal (Ref. 3288).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.1 - 18.7, mean 12.6 °C (based on 363 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00430 - 0.01608), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.73 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 19.8 [12.4, 43.7] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.382 [0.177, 0.719] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.3 [16.3, 18.3] % ; Omega3 = 0.45 [0.23, 0.86] g/100g ; Selenium = 17.4 [7.8, 37.4] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 32.6 [7.8, 141.1] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.384 [0.266, 0.565] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
