Holocephali (chimaeras) > Chimaeriformes (Chimaeras) > Chimaeridae (Shortnose chimaeras or ratfishes)
Etymology: Hydrolagus: hydro-, combining form of hydor (Gr.), water; lagos (Gr.), hare, i.e., “water rabbit,” probably referring to three pairs of tooth plates, which tend to protrude from the mouth like a rabbit’s incisors. (See ETYFish); pallidus: Latin for pale, referring to its pallid coloration. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.5 - 6.2, mean 4.2 °C (based on 256 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00309 (0.00128 - 0.00745), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming Fec <100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (55 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 89.7 [16.4, 537.6] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.629 [0.172, 2.104] mg/100g ; Protein = 14.3 [8.3, 17.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.538 [0.147, 2.085] g/100g ; Selenium = 5.22 [1.07, 30.11] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 207 [22, 1,963] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.37 [0.59, 3.44] mg/100g (wet weight);
