Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 8. Head with a pale stripe directed horizontally forward from lower edge of eye extending around tip of snout and adjoining stripe from opposite side. Side of body with 2 pale stripes or horizontal series of spots. A pale stripe present midlaterally on caudal peduncle (perhaps extension of stripe anteriorly on side); an additional stripe located dorsally on caudal peduncle and side immediately below most of dorsal-fin base. Posterior edge of pectoral fins produced ventrally (ventralmost rays distinctly longer than those immediately above). Scales ventrally on cheek distinctly not extending forward to corner of mouth. (Ref 9823)

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Poorly known and rarely seen but probably inhabits deep waters (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.3 - 28.9, mean 27.9 °C (based on 296 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00582 - 0.02984), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
