Etymology: Ernogrammus: Greek, ernos, -eos, -ous = bud, shoot, descendenat + Greek, gramma = letter, mark, signal (Ref. 45335); walkeri: Named for B.W. Walker (UCLA) who discovered the species.
Eponymy: Professor Dr Boyd Wallace Walker (1917–2001) was an American fisheries biologist; ultimately Professor Emeritus of Zoology-Fisheries at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he worked for over three decades (1949–1980). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 50 - 51; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 31 - 33; Vertebrae: 53 - 55. Tubule processes of the lateral line canals are inclined irregularly, postdorsally, and postventrally; unbanded pectorals; branchiostegal membrane separate from isthmus.
Inhabits the littoral and sublittoral zones; apparently nocturnal and lives in rock crevices (Ref. 26664).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 14 - 15.9, mean 15.3 (based on 14 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00163 - 0.00884), b=3.16 (2.96 - 3.36), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).
