Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 4 - 6; Vertebrae: 18. Distinguished from its congeners by the following: bifurcate dermal spines on ventral surface; body surface of disk covered with complex tubercles, 4-7 spines on rostrum, disk edge, and subopercle, trident on tail; 3 lateral lines on preopercle, 6 on subopercle, 2-3 on dorsolateral branch of subopercle, 1-2 on ventral series of body and 8-9 on tail; 18 vertebrae (Ref. 58309).
Collected by otter trawl and shrimp trawl or trap (Ref. 58309).
