Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16; Vertebre: 34 - 36. Small patches (scales) of luminous tissue at certain photophores (although subject to erosion, these luminous scales are quite persistent and are evident on specimens that have lost all body scales and most scale pockets).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.

Trophic level (Fonte Biblio.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
