Etymology: Phycis: Taken from Greek, phykon = seaweed; because of the habits of this fish that lives hidden among them (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Captain Hubbard C Chester (1836–1886) made a number of whaling voyages before being appointed sailing master of the Arctic exploring steamer Polaris (1871). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; benthopelagic; non-migratory; depth range 90 - 1500 m (Ref. 40643), usually 360 - 800 m (Ref. 1371). Temperate; 61°N - 24°N, 81°W - 40°W

Western Atlantic: Canada to straits of Florida, found in the outer continental shelves and slopes, but not abundant to south of Cape Hatteras.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0. Dorsal fin with an extremely elongated ray, its length longer than head length. Longest pelvic-fin ray reaching beyond the posterior end of the anal-fin base. Olive on sides, belly pale; the margins of the dorsal, caudal and anal fins darker.
Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Minimum depth at 90 m (Ref. 1371). Most abundant between 360 and 800 m. Feeds mostly on crustaceans (especially euphausiids, shrimps and amphipods (Ref. 5951)) but also on mollusks and fishes (Ref. 1371).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 2.9 - 5.7, mean 4.1 (based on 56 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6255 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00183 - 0.00790), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (55 of 100).
