Etymology: Chaenophryne: Greek, 'chaeno' or 'chaino' = to gape + Greek, 'phryne' = toad (alluring to a "gaping toad") (Ref. 86949); quasiramifera: Name from Latin 'quasi' meaning simulating or appearing 'as if', and 'ramifera', refes to the similarity of its esca to its congener C. ramifera..

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Raggi anali molli: 6. This species can be easily distinguished from its congeners in having the following characters: 1 or 2 elongate illicial filaments originating laterally just below base of escal bulb (vs. C. ramifera with 7-12 on each side; descending escal appendage extending along anterior margin of illicium, a small proximal portion emerging at articulation of illicium and illicial pterygiophores as a free, anterodorsally directed tentacle; short illicium, 21.1-22.9% SL; greater number of dorsal- and anal-fin rays, 8 and 6, respectively (Ref. 75756).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.6 - 13.3, mean 9.7 °C (based on 38 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [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).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±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).
