Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total): 6-7; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 7. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: have branched distal escal filaments, 3 slender filaments on and below anterior margin of escal bulb, and several similar filaments on and below posterior margin of escal bulb; length of illicium 175-200% SL; escal papillae absent; relatively long dentary teeth (largest 4.0-4.5% SL), arranged in two, possibly three, very irregular longitudinal series; caudal fin rays less than 35% SL (Ref. 86949).

Also mesopelagic (Ref. 10761).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
