(See ETYFish);  dawsoni: In honor of Elliot W. Dawson (b. 1930), National Museum of New Zealand (now Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa), who brought the first specimens to Springer’s attention. (See ETYFish).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00176 - 0.00714), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
