Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 75 - 97; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 58 - 77; Vértebra: 34 - 39. Caudal rounded.

Found on sandy bottom, from near shore to 366 m (Ref. 2850). Little commercial importance because of its small size (Ref. 2850).

Life cycle and mating behavior Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva

Distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Oviparous (Ref. 101737). Females produce numerous eggs in multiple spawnings during a prolonged spawning period (Ref. 101737).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.7 - 15.1, mean 8.9 °C (based on 49 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00317 - 0.01581), b=3.18 (3.00 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.52 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 169 [74, 363] mg/100g; Iron = 1.44 [0.65, 2.90] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.1, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.274 [0.141, 0.553] g/100g; Selenium = 42.1 [19.0, 95.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.5 [1.8, 32.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.811 [0.520, 1.232] mg/100g (wet weight);
