Etymology: Trachyscorpia: Greek, trachys, -eia, y = rough + Greek, skorpis, idos = a kind of fish without identification (Ref. 45335).

Issue
Motomura et al. (2007:33) suggest that this subspecies is perhaps a distinct species and direct comparison of specimens must be done (Ref. 75873).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.6 - 10.9, mean 9.9 (based on 23 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00452 - 0.01601), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.58 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
