Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 26; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 15; Vertebrae: 32. This species is distinguished from its congeners in having a very slender body, with greatest body depth 15.8 % SL and depth at dorsal-fin origin 15.3 % SL). It also has a higher number of vertebrae (14 + 18) (Ref. 76877).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The species was observed (by R. Myers) to hover within half a meter of the side of the cave (the cave with a large chimney with 3-4 m opening in a shelf about 20 m, and a large opening in the adjacent wall from about 36 to at least 50 m). Seeks refuge (darts) into a hole when approached within 2-3 meters (Ref. 76877).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
