Etymology: Santelmoa: Named after the Spanish ship San Telmo lost in the 'Terra Australis Incognita' (in Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, according to Pinochet de la Barra 1993) on 2-4 September 1819, in honour of the 644 Spanish shipwrecked.;  antarctica: The specific name antarctica is after the type locality (Ref. 89950).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00057 - 0.00252), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 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 (30 of 100).
