Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 4; Raggi anali molli: 4; Vertebre: 17. Ventral surface of the disk with tubercles. Cephalic lateral line scale counts: preopercular 3; subopercular 6; dorsolateral branch of subopercular 3; supraorbital 7-8. Lateral line scale counts on body 9-10; tail 14-15. Disk relatively flat with cranium slightly elevated above surface of disk. Tail stout and tapering to caudal. Esca with skin relatively thick; ventral lobes less distinctly separated from one another relative to other species. Rostrum shelflike, overhanging mouth so that much of the rostrum, esca, and illicial cavity can be seen from ventral view. Gill rakers shaped as stout pedicels with small teeth clustered distally. Paired fins relatively large and stout; dorsal and anal fins small; anal lappet-like (Ref. 40825).

Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [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): 3.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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).
