Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 31 - 35; Anal soft rays: 20 - 22; Vertebrae: 36 - 39. This species is distinguished by the following characters: vertebrae 14-16 + 22-24 = 36-39; dorsal-fin rays 31-35; anal-fin rays 20-22; further distinguished from all congeners, except P. paucus and P. pietschi, by having laterally flattened, bladelike ventral procurrent caudal rays, and an anteriorly directed hook-like process on the third posteriormost ventral procurrent caudal ray (Ref. 94277).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.1 - 14, mean 8.6 °C (based on 426 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02455 (0.00947 - 0.06362), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
