Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 5 - 6; Radios blandos anales: 4. Metamorphosed females of Bufoceratias thele differ from those of Bufoceratias shaoi in having a much smaller esca and a longer illicium (112-143% standard length versus 26-40% standard length), and from those of Bufoceratias wedli in lacking escal appendages (Ref. 51070).

Males and larvae unknown (Ref. 51070). Specimens caught in bottom trawls (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.1 - 17.4, mean 10.3 °C (based on 312 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6406 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
