Etymology: Urolophus: Greek, oura = tail + Greek, lophos = crest (Ref. 45335);  neocaledoniensis: neocaledniensis because of its apparent abundant and widely distributed occurrence in the New Caledonian region (Ref. 51067).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15 - 18.6, mean 17.2 °C (based on 4 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00366 - 0.01807), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
