Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Benthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds on fishes (Ref. 58426), bottom crustaceans (isopods, amphipods), ophiurids, cephalopods. Reproduces probably in early autumn. About 500 demersal eggs of 7 mm diameter (Ref. 4695).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -0.9 - 3.6, mean -0.7 °C (based on 594 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.7 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 26.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100).
