Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 13; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 12; Vértebra: 26. This is a large (10.2-11.7 cm SL), deep-bodied species with the following set of features: adults of both sexes with long maxilla, with flexible scimitar-shaped lamina, in males, extending beyond operculum; black inner lining of maxilla and adjacent membranes; D 12 or 13; A III; 21-26 gill rakers on lower limb of first arch; 54-55 pored lateral line scales; 16 caudal vertebrae (Ref. 75633).

Juvenile specimens collected by ichthyocide at 21-24 m, and adults by trawl at 80-90 m (Ref. 75633).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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