Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 5 - 6; Rayons mous anaux: 4. Metamorphosed females differs from Bufoceratias wedli and Bufoceratias thele in having a considerably shorter illicium (25-40% standard length versus 83-225% standard length) and a much larger and more complex esca (Ref. 51070).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.

Males and larvae unknown (Ref. 51070). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Réf. 123201): 9.3 - 18.3, mean 13.3 °C (based on 110 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Réf. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5703 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Réf. 69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
