Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 59 - 70; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 54 - 63; Vertebrae: 52 - 54. A small variably shaped patch of teeth on head of vomer. Pectoral fin extending beyond anal fin origin. Ventral light organ present. Color uniformly brown; fins dark-edged (Ref. 1371). Caudal fin rounded (Ref. 27363).

Highest catches at 235 m. Females attain larger sizes than males. Larger individuals of both sexes move into deeper water. Utilized mainly for fishmeal; can be fried, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 3.3 - 7.7, mean 5.7 (based on 115 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00277 - 0.00790), b=3.11 (2.96 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-3).

Prior r = 0.57, 95% CL = 0.37 - 0.85, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
