Teleostei (teleosts) > Aulopiformes (Grinners) > Scopelarchidae (Pearleyes)
Etymology: Benthalbella: A possible interpretation is related to Greek, benthos = the deep sea + Latin, albus = white; but it is need more information.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Oceanic, mesopelagic or bathypelagic species (Ref. 6601, 58302). Most adults have been taken in hauls to depths considerably in excess of 500 m (Ref. 10755). Adults prey on other midwater fishes (Ref. 6691).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.5 - 9.5, mean 4.2 °C (based on 4228 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5313   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00347 (0.00144 - 0.00836), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 31.5 [10.4, 97.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.365 [0.125, 1.153] mg/100g; Protein = 15.9 [12.8, 18.4] %; Omega3 = 0.132 [0.035, 0.409] g/100g; Selenium = 21.6 [6.4, 62.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.2 [3.7, 277.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.429 [0.228, 0.850] mg/100g (wet weight);
