Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 18 - 19; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 21; Vertebre: 51. This species is distinguished by the following characters: pectoral fin with 2 two rays; serial dentition of praemaxillare, 4 (5?) teeth in external row on praemaxillare; total vertebrae 51; no blue luminous tissue on body; with very small chin barbel in adult specimens (1.4-2.4% SL for SL16.7-17.5 cm SL); distinct terminal bulb that does not protrude beyond the stem and carries intensely pigmented terminal filament (Ref. 125186).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.9 ±0.7 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.
