Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2. Pelvic fin rays 11-12; height first dorsal fin about equal to or more than head length; underside of head scaled, but lacking prominent pores of sensory lateralis system; body scales with dense covering of broadly shield-shaped spinules; 5.5-7.5 scale rows below origin of second dorsal fin, 36-42 lateral line scales over distance equal to predorsal length; trunk completely encircled by broad dark band, although sometimes rather faint; first dorsal fin uniformly blackish; anterior dermal window of light organ scarcely developed, usually apparent only as triangular anterior protrusion of naked periproct, situated behind line connecting insertions of pelvic fins; orbit to preopercle distance 38-44% of head length; upper jaw 29-34%; gill rakers on inner side of first arch 9-10. Snout protruding, angular.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.9 - 8.3, mean 5.9 °C (based on 60 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00111 - 0.00431), b=3.20 (3.03 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
