Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: thin, deciduous skin; color silvery pink to pale brownish; preopercular and oral lateral line canals sharing a common branch; short dorsal spine, subequal or slightly shorter than first dorsal fin; claspers of adult males long (17-19% BDL), trifurcate, divided for slightly less than half of their length; structure of the CO1 gene (Ref. 76965).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.2 - 7, mean 5.4 °C (based on 76 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00118 - 0.00673), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100).
