Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 12-16; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 12. Diagnosis: 40-43 lateral line scales; 8 scales between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin; lateral surface of snout and often also regions ventral and posteroventral or orbit with highly elaborate laterosensory canal system formed of multiple intersecting segments; region posterodorsal and posterior of orbit without elaborate laterosensory canal system or with limited system immediately posterior of orbit (Ref. 81638).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00147 - 0.00981), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
