Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: massive head with a short snout; trunk stocky and relatively long 44% BDL, short tail with second dorsal fin base 72% BDL; pelvic fin long, its anterior margin 26% BDL; caudal fin dorsal origin slightly posterior to caudal fin ventral origin; skin firm, non-deciduous; preopercular and oral lateral line canals sharing a common branch; specifc CO1 and NADH2 sequences. Colouration: brown color with yellow blotches on body both on both fresh and preserved specimen (Ref. 123898).

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=0.00282 (0.00118 - 0.00673), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Deep-water species with few large eggs.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).
