Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 14; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 10 - 12. Dorsal part of body without prickles, belly covered with prickles (Ref. 559). Greenish or dark grey above, silvery white below (Ref. 4919). Distinguished from other Lagocephalus species by the black gill opening (Ref. 559).

Found in the shelf edge (Ref. 11230). Closely resembles the Atlantic species L. laevigatus Linnaeus which reaches southern Angola (Ref. 4919).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.6 - 28.3, mean 26.4 °C (based on 1313 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02692 (0.01730 - 0.04187), b=2.86 (2.74 - 2.98), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 2.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (K=0.53).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).

Lagocephalus inermis (Temminck & Schlegel, 1850)
