Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 5-8; Raggi anali molli: 4 - 6. Characterized by having escal morphology: escal bulb with small rounded, anteriorly to anteroventrally directed papilla on anterior midline, continuous internally with slightly larger posteriorly to posterodorsally directed papilla on dorsal midline; compressed posterior appendage sigmoidal in shape and usually twice as long as escal bulb; darkly pigmented swollen basal part of posterior appendage in specimens 84mm and larger; presence of filaments on posterior appendage, pigmented in specimens 84 mm and larger; dorsal fin rays 5-8; anal fin rays 4-6; pectoral fin rays 17-22 (Ref. 86949).

Mesopelagic (Ref. 10524).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.7 - 6.7, mean 4.3 °C (based on 930 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Fecundity assumed < 1000).

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