Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 95 - 120; Radios blandos anales: 85 - 102. Pectoral fin of eyed side shorter than head. Distal part of pectoral fin blackish (Ref. 232). Large mucus pores on the blind side of the head. Uniform coloration, rough scales. Body elongated with complete straight lateral line (Ref. 35388).

Inhabits soft mud bottoms in fairly deep water (Ref. 9988). Benthic (Ref. 58426). Feeds on crustaceans, polychaetes, brittle stars (Ref. 9988) and fishes (Ref. 58426). Marketed fresh or frozen; eaten steamed, fried, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.6 - 11.4, mean 7 °C (based on 1302 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00365 - 0.00573), b=3.08 (3.01 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 5.5 (4.8 - 9.9) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 11 growth studies.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (K=0.15-0.2; tmax=25).

Prior r = 0.32, 95% CL = 0.21 - 0.48, Based on 8 full stock assessments.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).
