Olocefali (chimere) (chimaeras) > Chimaeriformes (Chimaeras) > Chimaeridae (Shortnose chimaeras or ratfishes)
Etymology: Hydrolagus: hydro-, combining form of hydor (Gr.), water; lagos (Gr.), hare, i.e., “water rabbit,” probably referring to three pairs of tooth plates, which tend to protrude from the mouth like a rabbit’s incisors. (See ETYFish);  mirabilis: Latin for wonderful or strange, allusion not explained, possibly referring to its large eyes and/or typically strange chimaeroid appearance. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.2 - 11, mean 8.4 °C (based on 66 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00118 - 0.00673), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.58 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming Fec <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Low vulnerability (5 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 19.4 [4.9, 65.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.455 [0.157, 1.126] mg/100g; Protein = 15.9 [10.2, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.354 [0.130, 1.011] g/100g; Selenium = 15.5 [4.8, 53.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.5 [2.1, 47.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.367 [0.190, 0.726] mg/100g (wet weight);
