Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species does not have light organs. The head is large; eyes are large, about equal in diameter to the interorbital space. The snout is blunt with the lower jaw slightly projecting. The body tapers quite abruptly from behind the pectoral fin. Body color is light brown. The fin membranes, branchiostegal membrane, gill chamber and body cavity color is black. Also Ref. 2800.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 3.5 - 9.8, mean 5.1 (based on 223 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00141 - 0.00980), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.42 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
