Etymology: Torpedo: Latin, torpere = be sluggish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: William Wyatt Anderson (1909–1993) was an American ichthyologist who was a Fisheries Research Biologist at the State Game and Fish Commission, Coastal Fisheries Division, Brunswick, Georgia, USA, and a close friend of the describer. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 114953)

Found inshore to 10 m depth in coral-reef habitats (Ref. 114953). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449). Smallest specimens at ca. 15 cm TL (Ref. 114953).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00665 - 0.03288), b=2.96 (2.77 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Live nearer with low fecundity (RF)).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
