Teleostei (teleosts) > Perciformes/Notothenioidei (Icefishes) > Nototheniidae (Cod icefishes) > Nototheniinae
Etymology: Notothenia: Greek, 'notos', ou; νοτος, ου), from the south + Greek, 'e 'eutheneia',as or 'euthenia', as (ευθενεια, ας; ευθενια, ας), abundance (P. Romero, pers.comm. 01/16);  neglecta: Named after Dr. Nybelin's feeling that this divergent form of coriiceps has been overlooked (Ref. 11892).

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

Marine; benthopelagic; depth range 1 - 95 m (Ref. 11892), usually 1 - 90 m (Ref. 11892). Polar

Maturity: Lm 30.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 11892)

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 37 - 40; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 27 - 32. Caudal fin subtruncate or slightly rounded, emarginate in young. Coloration more spectacular compared to other nototheniids. Juveniles with a black blotch on distal end of pectoral fin.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Juveniles found in 1-10 m depth and possibly having a pelagic habit, adults in deeper water (Ref. 11892). Adults feed on crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 11892). Spawn once a year (Ref. 57661). Some information needs to be transferred from N. coriiceps to this species (RF).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvae

Mature females may spawn for the first time from around 6-8 years of age (Ref. 71843).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -1.9 - -1.2, mean -1.7 °C (based on 342 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00446 - 0.01415), b=3.25 (3.10 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
