Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 48-51; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 41 - 43. Head relatively large, less than five times in SL. Skin fold above the upper lip with three pairs of lobes or small barbels. First fin ray followed by a row of small, fleshy filaments (Ref. 1371). One barbel on the lower jaw and four on the snout (Ref. 35388).

Found in the sublittoral zone, on sand or mud bottoms. Feed mostly on decapod crustaceans, lobsters, crabs, mysids and polychaetes (Ref. 3663). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Spawning may take place in deeper waters (Ref. 57987).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00451 - 0.01218), b=3.17 (3.03 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.44 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tm=1; tmax=3).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
