Teleostei (teleosts) > Scombriformes (Mackerels) > Centrolophidae (Medusafishes)
Etymology: Schedophilus: Name from Greek words 'phylos' (Φίλος), t) meaning 'one who likes' and "s 'shedia' (Σχεδία) which means raft; literally means 'the one who likes rafts'. This probably refers to the lifestyle ot the juveniles of this genus (Michail Ragousis, mar10091@marine.aegean.gr, pers. Comm. 01/16) which are epipelagic and associate with floating jellyfish.
Eponymy: Dr Richard Lee Haedrich (1938–2017) was an ichthyologist, marine biologist and oceanographer who was a specialist in this group of fishes and how they relate to the marine environment. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Body moderately deep and compressed; dorsal fin with 6 weak spines and 22 to 23 soft rays (VI, 22-23); its origin generally anterior to the insertion of the pectoral fins (juveniles) or above them (adults); anal fin with 15 to 16 rays; pectoral fins pointed; scales deciduous; dorsal area of juveniles with dark lines; body entirely dark gray or brown gray in adults (Ref. 55763).

Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 15.6, mean 14.8 °C (based on 14 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00403 - 0.01972), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
