Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 9; Anal soft rays: 31 - 34; Vertebrae: 79 - 81. This species is distinguished by the following characters: a single light organ at mid-anterior rim of orbit, none at the lower orbital; anal-fin rays 31-34; prehaemal 29-30; total vertebrae 79-81; total lateral-line scales 63-65; dorsal-fin origin before mid-space between pelvic- and anal- fin origins; abdominal ridge without black margin (Ref. 120632).

Apparently a shallow water dweller collected near the surface (Ref. 120632).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00088 - 0.00547), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.6 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).
