Spotty records from the subarctic and subantarctic to temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean. South Atlantic: along the coast of Africa, on Walvis Ridge, near Discovery and Meteor seamounts and on the continental slope of Antarctica (Ref. 44938). Northwest Atlantic: Canada (Ref. 5951).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 58-67; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 42 - 53; Vertebrae: 52 - 55. Eye large, its diameter about equal to snout length. Lower jaw slightly projecting; chin barbel absent. Elongate filament in first dorsal fin absent. Anal fin originating at about the midlength of body, deeply indented; pectoral fins not reaching to anal fin origin. Outer 2 pelvic rays elongate. Anterior gill rakers of 1st arch longer than gill filaments. Ventral light organ absent. Color is generally pale, silvery in fresh specimen; urobranchial cavity black (Refs. 1371, 43939).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Food consists of free-living small animals, such as crustaceans and squids. This species is reportedly being caught by trawl in temperate waters of Australia (Ref. 9563).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.2 - 7.1, mean 3.7 °C (based on 813 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00195 - 0.00776), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 24.8 [7.6, 57.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.326 [0.144, 0.931] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.6, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.115 [0.044, 0.294] g/100g; Selenium = 23.4 [7.2, 63.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.9 [4.2, 273.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.528 [0.283, 1.067] mg/100g (wet weight);
