Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 37.8, range 28 - 50 cm
Max length : 66.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 56527); common length : 44.1 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 56476); peso massimo pubblicato: 550.00 g (Ref. 56476); Età massima riportata: 10 anni (Ref. 56527)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 2; Spine anali: 0. Snout short, blunt, with a broad spinous scute at its tip, its leading edge and most of its underside naked; suborbital shelf very narrow anteriorly; interopercle broadly rounded posteriorly; chin with very short barbel. Scales rather deciduous; body scales with 3 to 10 low, subparallel rows of spinules; gill and gular membranes and interopercle naked. Pyloric caeca short, 5 to 7. Overall color is grayish brown; fins blackish to dusky; oral and gill cavities blackish.
Feeds mainly on pelagic forms (Ref. 1371). Too small for fresh consumption (Ref. 1371).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 2.3 - 3.1, mean 2.4 °C (based on 148 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00200 (0.00118 - 0.00338), b=3.09 (2.94 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
