The long time spent by females in their parental adulthood may be an advantageous life history strategy in that they are rapidly transferred to regeneration in response to increasing sedimentation particles from the superficial layer.
The main spawning period of deep-sea species coincided with the surface phytoplankton bloom, which was considered to reflect the fact that the supply of precipitated particles to the deep sea was large in the surface phytoplankton bloom period.
In this study, deep-sea species (Gaetanus variabilis) had different growth rates in males and females, and females spent a long time in parental adulthood.
