Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Body robust, deepest over pectoral fins; several short, weak, concealed spines at lower angle of preopercle; spine on opercle barely if at all reaching beyond rear margin of head; eyes well developed; adults with no dark spots on body or fins; pelvic fin bases close together, inserting under rear margin of eye. Small specimens with 4 rather diffuse broad vertical brown bands on body; adults uniformly brown (Ref. 34024).

A benthic species found on the continental slope (Ref. 75154). Common species (Ref. 34024). Oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205). Minimum depth reported from Ref. 34024.

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
