Max length : 75.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 34024); common length : 50.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 55763)
Inhabit caves and crevices of rocky reefs (Ref. 11482). Oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205). Grow to at least 10 cm (Ref. 11482); size of Brotula species is given as 'at least 75 cm' in Ref. 34024, which is followed here until better information becomes available (RF).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 20.1 - 24.6, mean 22.7 °C (based on 62 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00154 - 0.00938), b=3.13 (2.91 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Assuming tm=3-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
