Etymology: Patagonotothen: Composed from Patagonia, the Argentinian province + Greek,noton = back + Greek, adverbial particle, then, that denotes distance or removal (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Allan George Ramsay (1878–1903) was chief engineer of the Scotia, during the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904), and became the only person to die during that expedition. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 4.5 - 9, mean 6 °C (based on 192 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00282 - 0.01229), b=3.23 (3.05 - 3.41), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.51 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.22-0.35; assuming fec < 10,000).
Prior r = 0.57, 95% CL = 0.37 - 0.85, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
