Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Disc is narrowly projecting to snout, pelvic fins with long anterior margins. Narrowly pointed falcate outer corners. Upper surface dark brown, lower surface pale with darker margins and teeth as yellowish white (Ref. 6902).

Found in shallow waters on sandy bottoms generally between 5 and 25 m depth. Reported from a depth of 810 m (Ref. 13608). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27 - 28.3, mean 27.6 °C (based on 302 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00366 - 0.01891), b=3.10 (2.90 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming fecundity<100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
