Teleostei (teleosts) > Lophiiformes (Anglerfishes) > Oneirodidae (Dreamers)
Etymology: Oneirodes: Greek, 'oneiros' = a dream or dreamlike or out of a dream (suggesting this fish is so strange and marvelous that can exist only in dreams) (Ref. 86949);  sabex: Name from the acronym formed from the initial letters of the name 'Southeast Asian Bioluminescence EXpedition'; in recognition of the important ichthyological contribution made by those involved (Ref. 26783).

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

Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 780 - 1800 m (Ref. 86949). Deep-water

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.1 - 5.9, mean 4.4 °C (based on 309 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
