Max length : 77.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 106276); max. reported age: 75 years (Ref. 45673)
Inhabit deep waters (Ref. 4570). Epibenthic-pelagic (Ref. 58426). Bear live young. Gregarious throughout life. Feed on euphausiids, hyperiids, cephalopods, chaetognaths and small fishes. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 4570). Longevity was determined from isotope ratios and given as at least 65 years in general and at least 75 years in the waters off Nova Scotia (Ref. 45673).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.4 - 6.6, mean 3.6 °C (based on 151 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00513 - 0.01411), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.61 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 14.1 (10.3 - 18.9) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 11 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (K=0.05-0.10; tm=10-13).
Prior r = 0.18, 95% CL = 0.12 - 0.26, Based on 10 full stock assessments.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 12.1 [5.8, 36.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.194 [0.085, 0.601] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.7, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.359 [0.105, 1.161] g/100g; Selenium = 43.1 [16.9, 112.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.8 [4.6, 255.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.311 [0.186, 0.705] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
