Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Coloration bluish-black with indistinct spots on the sides. Flesh soft and watery (Ref. 35388).
Inhabits offshore waters in midwater; adults also near bottom from 60-970 m, mainly 100-900 m (Ref. 4694). Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds on sea gooseberries, medusas, small fishes, also echinoderms, crustaceans and mollusks (not so hard-shelled) (Ref. 4694). Spawns at great depths (Ref. 44162).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.6 - 7.2, mean 3.4 (based on 687 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5938 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00308 - 0.01417), b=3.21 (3.02 - 3.40), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.08-0.10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (78 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
