Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
This species is distinguished by the following characters: the pectoral fin apices narrowly or abruptly rounded; the preorbital length times orbital length 2.41-3.40; preorbital length times interorbital length 1.02-1.17; interorbital space times orbit length 1.02-1.26; orbital length times spiracle length 1.16-1.78; pre-oral length times internarial length 1.24-1.34 (> 97.0 cm TL); tail thorns evenly spaced; dorsal disc surface and tail with finely textured denticles; teeth arranged in quincunx; predorsal tail vertebrae 64-71; pectoral-fin radial count 77-82 (Ref. 127873).
Holotype taken from a depth of 980 m (Ref. 26282). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00291 - 0.01038), b=3.13 (2.97 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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 (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
