Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7. Head scales reaching forward to between middle of eye. Posterior margin of preopercle sloping forward slightly. Lower limb of preopercle naked. Posterior margin of suborbital fine serrate, with a very small spine at upper corner. Pectoral fins long, reaching to or beyond level of anus. Pelvic fins long, reaching to or almost to level of anus. Color: Pale yellowish body, silvery below.

Inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms in offshore waters. Usually in small groups, in depths over 50 m (Ref. 48635). Feeds mainly on benthic invertebrates. Also caught with deep-sea shrimp traps.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 17.8 - 27.4, mean 24 (based on 251 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00685 - 0.02655), b=2.96 (2.80 - 3.12), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.44 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.70).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
