Chimaeridae (Shortnose chimaeras or ratfishes)
Etymology: Hydrolagus: hydro-, combining form of hydor (Gr.), water; lagos (Gr.), hare, i.e., “water rabbit,” probably referring to three pairs of tooth plates, which tend to protrude from the mouth like a rabbit’s incisors (See ETYFish); deani: In honor of American ichthyologist Bashford Dean (1867‒1928), for his “able studies” of chimaeras (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Bashford Dean (1857–1928) was an American zoologist, ichthyologist and acknowledged expert on mediaeval armour. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 6.2 - 9.8, mean 7.5 °C (based on 119 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00137 - 0.00798), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert 4,5 - 14 Jahre. (Assuming Fec <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
