Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Epipelagic to mesopelagic, found at the surface at night (Ref. 31442). Feed on euphausiids (Ref. 6885). Oviparous, with planktonic eggs and larvae (Ref. 31442). Lipid content is 2.1 % in fresh body weight and wax ester is, at the most, 5 % in total lipids (Ref. 9197).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.8 - 9.3, mean 6.2 °C (based on 129 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00387 - 0.01962), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
