Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 88; Raggi anali molli: 68. M. rajui differs from all other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: head short, snout blunt, skull length 3.4% TL, rostral fang with dorsal profile slightly convex forming an almost straight line with frontal profile of skull, dorsal fin origin above myomere number 7, anal fin origin below dorsal fin ray number 22, and no subdermal, lateral melanophores (Ref. 34506).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
