Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 10 - 13; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 18 - 21. Dark brownish to blackish in color; paler below with no silvery scales; when specimen is without scales, an indistinct blackish anal spot of the peritoneum showing through the skin may be observed (Ref. 6602).

Larvae and juveniles pseudoceanic in midwater; adults taken by both bottom and pelagic trawls in about 600-800 m. Sub-adults and adults migrate to the Southern Ocean (to 60°S) to feed; on euphausiids, hyperiids, and other crustaceans as well as on small fishes, like myctophids; juveniles take small zooplankton, especially copepods.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.6 - 12.6, mean 7.1 °C (based on 276 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00295 (0.00121 - 0.00721), b=3.18 (2.96 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
