Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 17; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 11 - 15. Body without prickles. Body brown dorsally, white ventrally. A large black blotch behind pectoral fin, another on base of dorsal fin (Ref. 559).

Occurs in the sublittoral zone (Ref. 11230). The skin, gonads, liver, intestines and even the blood contain deadly toxin but still utilized fresh for human consumption, especially in Japan (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.2 - 18.4, mean 14.8 °C (based on 20 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00705 - 0.02962), b=2.93 (2.76 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Assuming tm=3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Very high.
