Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 68 - 622 m (Ref. 10482). Deep-water; 40°N - 4°S, 107°E - 150°W (Ref. 92340)
Pacific: Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and Hawaii; northernmost record Emperor Seamounts. Apparently restricted to the North Pacific (temperate to tropical) and reports from New Zealand and New Caledonia are based on misidentifications.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 28618); common length : 5.1 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 10482)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 5. Lachrymal bone consisting of 2 spines over maxillary, first as a broad lobe, second as a broad spine pointing down; well marked suborbital ridge with 5 or 6 or more spines; second preopercle spine small or absent (Ref. 10482). Distinguished from other Hawaiian scorpionfishes by having only the anterior 4 or 5 tubed lateral line scales present, with the remainder of the lateral line absent; and presence of large melanophores on the caudal peduncle (Ref. 10482).
Benthic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on small fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 5755). Female specimens (4.70-5.59 cm SL) taken from the Emperor Seamounts have mature gonads filled with relatively large eggs of several developmental stages with the most developed eggs are ca. 0.4 mm in diameter (Ref. 92340).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.1 - 21.3, mean 16.2 °C (based on 121 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00696 - 0.04547), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.66 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
