Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 9 - 10; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 23 - 25; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 22 - 24. Eye large; snout as long as eye or longer. Mouth very protractile, forming a short tube when protruded. Third dorsal and anal spines only a little longer and stronger than the others. Body depth more than one and a half times in standard length. Vertebrae 21-23.

Depth range from 40-600 m (Ref. 35388) and from 288-700 m in the eastern Ionian Sea (Ref. 56504). Gregarious. Form schools. Found over rock or coral, but also trawled over sandy ground. Feed on crustaceans or worms, mollusks (Ref. 4952). Males are smaller than females (Ref. 5377).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 6.9 - 15, mean 10.7 (based on 295 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.01455 - 0.02496), b=2.81 (2.73 - 2.89), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179): Χαμηλό, ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού 4,5 - 14 έτη (K=0.145; tmax=26; tm=1.84).

Prior r = 0.44, 95% CL = 0.29 - 0.67, Based on 1 full stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low vulnerability (19 of 100).
