Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batipelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 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 / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 42.0, range 41 - 43 cm
Max length : 75.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5208); peso massimo pubblicato: 3.3 kg (Ref. 128737); peso massimo pubblicato: 3.3 kg; Età massima riportata: 44 anni (Ref. 128738)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 55 - 61; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 36 - 44; Vertebre: 57 - 60. Blue-grey to blackish (Ref. 6606).
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.
