Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 1.4 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 38635)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits mainly oceanic drop-offs; in and around caves in vertical walls. Probably a schooling fish; feeding on plankton but radiolarians in the gut may indicate some feeding off the substrate (Ref. 38635).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.7 - 28.2, mean 28 °C (based on 2 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
