Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal soft rays: 24 - 27; Vertebrae: 75 - 82. This species is distinguished by the following characters: A 24-27, its origin at the hindmost fifth of SL; pectoral fin rays 10-11; origins of pelvic fins distinctly in front of a vertical from first dorsal fin ray; conspicuously modified lateral line; dorsal and ventral protrusions of each lateral line scale extend to dorsal and ventral midline, forming a transverse striation of the body; elongated and subcylindrical body; snout pointed and terminal, the upper jaw extending just below nasal aperture; base of adipose long (at least twice the height of the caudal peduncle); total vertebrae 75-82 (Ref. 88797).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Juveniles taken at 45 m; adults from 550 to more than 2, 000 m. Feeds on krill and fishes.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.8 - 4.3, mean 2.1 °C (based on 193 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00090 - 0.00555), b=3.14 (2.92 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.62 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 42.5 [12.5, 124.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.308 [0.093, 0.938] mg/100g; Protein = 16.2 [13.1, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.208 [0.054, 0.659] g/100g; Selenium = 18.9 [5.7, 62.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42.7 [4.5, 379.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.608 [0.310, 1.235] mg/100g (wet weight);
