Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 12-14; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 20; Vértebra: 31 - 32. Anal organs 10-11; mature males have large 3 to 5 translucent supracaudal gland and smaller infracaudal gland; mature females have small supracaudal gland and much smaller infracaudal patches (Ref. 39633).

Benthopelagic and mesopelagic in slope and oceanic waters, but usually not high-oceanic. Occurs in the upper 200 m at night (Ref. 4066). Epipelagic in nearshore areas at 0-856 m (Ref. 58302). Occasionally seen during dark nights on slopes that are near very deep water. Attracted by light like moths, becoming disoriented and darting frantically in all directions (Ref. 48635).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.6 - 14.4, mean 8.9 °C (based on 788 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00387 - 0.01962), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.33 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (K=5.62; tmax=1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 291 [71, 933] mg/100g; Iron = 1.67 [0.55, 4.95] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [15, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.517 [0.218, 1.219] g/100g; Selenium = 63.2 [19.8, 210.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.9 [3.2, 118.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.25 [0.60, 2.69] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
