Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Subadults are found near the surface over deep water; juveniles occur inshore from surface waters down to at least 50 m (Ref. 9563). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018. Habitat change gradually occur during the growth of the fish, from epipelagic to benthic (mesobenthopelagic), including talassobenthic. Of no commercial value (Ref. 54802).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 8.6 - 14.3, mean 11.7 °C (based on 81 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00403 - 0.01972), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100). 🛈
