Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16 - 20; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 2 - 3. Brownish to near black in color; tip of snout pale, often with irregular pale bars on dorsum of body (Ref. 4281). Snout short with rounded dorsal ridge, and large eyes (Ref. 48635).
Collected from sand, rubble, or reef habitats to a depth of at least 14 m. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Also found in coastal algal-rubble slopes in 5-25 m (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 25.4 - 29.3, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1830 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00037 (0.00016 - 0.00085), b=3.18 (2.99 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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.
