Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 200 - 1350 m (Ref. 26074), usually 200 - 600 m (Ref. 26074). Deep-water; 55°N - 17°S, 19°W - 16°E
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
Eastern Atlantic: southern Ireland to Angola; penetrated the Strait of Gibraltar without establishing widespread or abundant populations in the Mediterranean Sea. Reported from the Canary Islands (Ref. 5304), Sicily and Corsica (Ref. 4710).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.7 - 14.4, mean 13.1 °C (based on 117 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00460 - 0.02076), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100) .
