Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15 - 17; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16.

High-oceanic and mesopelagic species (Ref. 4066), found between 501-700 m during the day and between 40-175 m during the night, exhibiting size stratification with depth (Ref. 4479). Probably spawns in deep water during spring (Ref. 4479).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2 - 5.8, mean 3.2 °C (based on 3796 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00438 - 0.02284), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Diaphus effulgens (Goode & Bean, 1896)
