Etymology: Hydrolagus: hydro-, combining form of hydor (Gr.), water; lagos (Gr.), hare, i.e., “water rabbit,” probably referring to three pairs of tooth plates, which tend to protrude from the mouth like a rabbit’s incisors (See ETYFish)mitsukurii: In honor of zoologist Kakichi Mitsukuri (1857‒1909), Imperial University of Tokyo (Japan), who provided the specimens that Bashford Dean used in a concurrent description (with same name) published a few months later (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Kakichi Mitsukuri (1857–1909) was a Japanese zoologist who first went to the USA (1873) and achieved doctorates from Yale (1879) and from Johns Hopkins University (1883). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.5 - 7, mean 5.3 °C (based on 12 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00137 - 0.00798), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Assuming Fec <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
