Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 51-57; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 11 - 13; Vertebrae: 88 - 92. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters (counts & % in parentheses for lectotype): no supraneural bones; dorsal-fin rays 51-57 (mode 52); total vertebrae 88-92 (91); pored lateral-line scales 79-89 (84); pre-dorsal scale rows 3-8 (8); head length 24-32 % (mean 30 %) of SL); pectoral-fin length 16-21 % (19 %) of SL; pre-dorsal-fin length 27-34 % (30 %) of SL; dorsal-fin base length 53-64 % (60 %) of SL; postorbital length 13-16 % (14 %) of SL; upper caudal-fin length 18-31 % (24 %) of SL (Ref. 109573).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Common on the continental slope (Ref. 2683). Found on muddy bottoms (Ref. 27121). Feeds on benthic copepods and polychaetes (Ref. 27637).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Spawning occurs in open waters. Eggs are pelagic (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.8 - 16, mean 13.9 °C (based on 56 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00513 (0.00200 - 0.01317), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.17 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=3-4).
