Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Breeding stock in the Weddell Sea consisted of individuals larger than 20 cm SL. Adults feed mainly on pelagic crustaceans: Euphausia superba, Hyperiella antarctica, Euphausia crystallorophias and other amphipods (Ref. 5192). Larval pelagic phase is long (Ref. 41551).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -1.8 - 1.1, mean -0.9 °C (based on 570 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00151 (0.00119 - 0.00192), b=3.27 (3.20 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec = 1,143).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100).
