Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7. This species is distinguished by the following characters: luminous gland is long, extending from isthmus to anal-fin base, its length 59.7-60.1% SL; proximal radial of first anal-fin pterygiophore lacking trough or hollow; anus is closer to origin of pelvic fin than to that of anal fin; weakly ctenoid and cycloid scales laterally on body anteriorly; body depth 31.0-33.0% SL, head length 39.6-2.0% SL; orbital diameter 13.0-14.0% SL (Ref. 41631. 123727).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected by trawl and landed in fish markets; apparently found on continental shelf and in nearby waters (Ref. 96184).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00470 - 0.02806), b=3.01 (2.80 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
