> Centrarchiformes (Basses) > Oplegnathidae (Knifejaws)
Etymology: Oplegnathus: Greek, hoplon = weapon + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Peão Lopes of the Lourenco Marques Museum was described as “…a most able collector and technician”. He collected eight of the records of fishes in or near Delagoa Bay that Smith discussed in his paper, presumably including the knifejaw holotype. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.9 - 26.6, mean 25.6 °C (based on 16 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
