Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 6 - 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 3 - 6; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8; Vertebre: 30 - 32.

Mesopelagic, bathy-, and benthopelagic rare species, mostly occurring over continental and island slopes. Distinctive kasidoron larval and pre-juvenile stage in epipelagic waters. Zooplankton pickers, with small crustaceans in stomachs of both pre-juveniles and adults (Ref. 9788). The largest specimen collected from Taiwan (10.3 cm SL) is a mature female with two large ovaries containing many large, loose eggs (c. 0.6-0.7 mm); while three other specimens (9.72-10.1 and 10.07 cm SL) are mature males with well-developed testis (Ref. 129007).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.7 - 2.5, mean 2.1 °C (based on 25 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.30 se; based on food items.

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