Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 69; Anal soft rays: 47. Body deep (ca 50% SL). Snout extended into a hook-like process projecting downwards in front of small, oblique mouth. Scales very small, rather firmly attached; ctenoid on ocular side, cycloid anteriorly on blind side, ctenoid posteriorly. Pelvic fin rays on right side 7, left 5-6. Caudal fin rays 14 (Ref. 33839).

Small bottom dwellers that either pass under or through most commercial trawls. Biology poorly known (Ref. 33839).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01820 (0.00797 - 0.04156), b=2.97 (2.76 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.1 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 to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
