Longueur à la première maturité / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?, range 5 - ? cm
Max length : 10.2 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 125989); poids max. publié: 11.40 g (Ref. 125989)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 13 - 15; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 13 - 15.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Oceanic species found between 700 and 1,500 m during the day; between 20 and 200 m at night (Ref. 4775) with maximum abundance between 50 and 100 m (Ref. 47377). Size stratification with depth both day and night (Ref. 4775). Small juveniles (1.5-1.9 cm) are apparently non-migratory. Known to feed on zooplankton but appears to be adapted for occasional herbivory (Ref. 28809).
