Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 112-114; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 105. The head is large; the eyes also large; the snout conical. Head ridges strongly demarcated with coarse scute-like scales; underside of the head scaled. The body tapers posteriorly from the first dorsal-fin spine insertion. Light organ short, narrow, extending to about midway between anal fin origin and pelvic fin insertion. Swim bladder weakly bilobate anteriorly, with 4 retia mirabilia. Caudal fin absent. Overall color is pale brown, the fins are darker; mouth and gill cavity linings gray to blackish.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.9 - 11.4, mean 9 °C (based on 62 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   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
