Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 0. Pale brown dorsally, grey-brown ventrally; snout and front of head white (Ref. 26346). A spookfish with a very long, narrow, conical snout, a small eye situated behind the mouth, a rather long first dorsal fin and spine, relatively smooth tooth plates, and with the lower caudal-fin lobe longer than the upper lobe (Ref. 6871).

Found on the continental slope (Ref. 7300). Maximum length 130 cm without caudal filament (Ref. 26346). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Eggs are encased in horny shells (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5 - 9.8, mean 7.1 °C (based on 517 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6289 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00100 (0.00062 - 0.00161), b=3.11 (2.97 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Assuming Fec <100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
