Serrivomeridae (Sawtooth eels)
Etymology: Serrivomer: Latin, serran, serranus, saw + Latin, vomer = ploughshare; in fishes = bone forming the front part of the roof of the mouth (1823) (Ref. 45335); sector: sector apparently alludes to the manner in which the platelike vomer divides the roof of the mouth into equal parts (Ref. 4525).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 3.2 - 12, mean 5.8 °C (based on 1343 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5059 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.54 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 3.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming tmax>10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
