Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

This species possess an anal fin separate from the ventral caudal margin by a notch. It is distinguished from its congeners by its relatively large body size; a long pre-narial length; a short pectoral-pelvic space and long pelvic-caudal space; ventral caudal margin ending slightly posterior to dorsal caudal margin; oral and preopercular lateral line canals share a short common branch, uniform caramel brown coloration, no color markings or mottling present; all fins a slightly darker brown color (Ref. 84473).

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=0.00282 (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).

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

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Deepwater species with few large eggs.).
