Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 14 - 15; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9 - 11; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 14-16 gill-rakers on the lower part of the first gill arch (Ref. 27611, 55908). Head relatively large, its length 37.4-38.2% of standard length, but head width relatively small, 39.2-40.4% head length; fins placed relatively posterior on the body, with preanal length 65.8-67.0% of standard length; premaxillary pedicel small, its length 19.8-20.0% head length (Ref. 55908).

Irregularly caught between 55 and 125 m depth (Ref. 5595), but found up to 159m (type material) (Ref. 55908).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
