Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1371)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Anal spines: 0. Snout long and sharply pointed, its anterolateral margin almost completely supported by bone; head ridges strong and coarsely spined; the dorsal surfaces of the head completely scaled except for the nasal fossa, scales atop head with spinules set in divergent rows; the underside of the head naked except for small isolated scales above the angle of the mouth and below the end of the opercle ridge in some specimens; swarthy to brownish, ventrally darker on the belly, with no prominent markings; the mouth and gill cavities blackish; the first dorsal fin uniformly dusky (Ref. 1371).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Size may exceed 50 cm TL. Feeds primarily on small fish (myctophids), polychaete worms and crustaceans (pagurids, crabs, shrimps, ostracods, and copepods (Ref. 6187).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.6 - 9.9, mean 5.9 °C (based on 199 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00251 (0.00128 - 0.00492), b=3.19 (3.03 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.48 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 21 [12, 50] mg/100g; Iron = 0.37 [0.18, 0.77] mg/100g; Protein = 16 [14, 18] %; Omega3 = 0.236 [0.107, 0.503] g/100g; Selenium = 25.5 [9.6, 64.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.8 [2.4, 55.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.443 [0.282, 0.722] mg/100g (wet weight);
