Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; demersal; depth range 0 - 1122 m (Ref. 43739), usually 0 - 55 m (Ref. 43739).   Tropical; 12°N - 19°S, 117°E - 178°W

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 46 - 51; Anal soft rays: 40 - 44; Vertebrae: 28 - 31. This species is distinguished by having spinous pterygiophore formula 3-123, 3-132, or 3-122 + 2. (here the 6th spine shares its interneural space with the 2 pterygiophores associated with the first 2 dorsal fin soft rays) (vs. 3-1221 or 3-12210 in other amblyopines); precaudal vertebrae 9 (vs. 10 ) (Ref. 43739).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected over mud and sand bottoms. Its small size and deep-dwelling habitat makes collection a difficult task (Ref. 43739).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 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).
