Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 135; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 106; Vertebrae: 69. Dorsal filament variable in length, but never longer than twice the eye diameter. Outer rays of the pelvic fins filamentous, of unequal lengths. Lateral line arched above the pectoral fin, extending to slightly beyond the pectoral fin tips. Color is uniform gray-brown, with iridescent hues.
Dwells in continental and insular shelves and slopes. Feeds on zooplankton. Synchronous spawner (Ref. 50743).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): -1.9 - 1.6, mean -0.7 (based on 751 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5059 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00171 - 0.01116), b=3.11 (2.89 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=4; Fec = 85,810).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): High vulnerability (62 of 100).
