Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2. The snout is 49-50% of head length (HL), anterolateral margin of which is not completely supported by bone; scales overlap onto anteroventral snout surface. Orbit diameter 23-24% HL, extending to below posterior 1/3 of orbit. Prolonged narrow flap absent in subopercle. Light organ from isthmus to anus. Underside of head with no scales (except as noted above); including nasal fossa. Thin body scales, short spinules, fine in somewhat quincunx pattern. Dorsal fin dusky with blackish edges at the base; median nasal process blackish; mouth cream colored with blackish lips and premaxillary processes (Ref. 35909).

Found on the continental slope (Ref. 75154).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00097 - 0.00495), b=3.17 (2.98 - 3.36), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100) .
