Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 4 - 6; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 4; Vertebre: 18 - 19. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36492). First dorsal spine modified to form a lure called illicium (Ref. 36492).

Found on sand bottom (Ref. 2850). Adults feed on small crustaceans and fish (Ref. 4525). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36492). Eggs are presumably contained in floating rafts (Ref. 36492).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.2 - 26, mean 20.1 °C (based on 49 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.00925 - 0.05675), b=2.94 (2.72 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.65 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 3.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
