Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total): 15-17; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 19. Moderately elongate and slender. Maxillary teeth are comblike, closely spaced. Serial photophores are not broken into small groups. Luminous patches are lacking from the top of head and body (Ref. 37039). Barbel longer than the head, terminal expanded, ventral half of the bulb is darkly pigmented (Ref. 37473). Body black (Ref. 37039).

An oceanic and mesopelagic species usually found deeper than 500 m during the day (Ref. 2802). Epi- and bathy-benthopelagic at 58-1900 m to 3200 m fishing depths (Ref. 58302). Feeds on midwater fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 2802).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.1 - 13.7, mean 8 °C (based on 1185 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00417 (0.00171 - 0.01014), b=3.05 (2.83 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
