Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 11; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 11; Vertebrae: 29. Distinguished by the following characters: body and head elongate, narrow; leathery barbel on chin, uniform light gray with dark gray speckles (Ref. 33724); fins: D1IV, D2 I/10, A I/11, P 14-16 (14:1, 15:2,16:1), V I/5+5/I, C 13 (branched rays) (1,13,1: 2; 2,13,1: 1; 1,13,2: 1), procurrent spines dorsal 2-4 (2:1,3:1,4:2) and ventral 2-3 (2: 1,3:3); scales absent; tiny platelets and granules, knob-like with few posteriad directed spines arranged as one or several irregular transverse rows or as patch, smallest on dorsal side of the head, larger on opercle and preopercle; premaxilla and dentary with caninoid teeth in 4-5 rows medially; outer row bears largest teeth;
no large canines developed (Ref. 36191).
Caught with a Sigsbee trawl at a depth of 294 m over white silt, on 22 April 1904 by the expedition of N.M. Knipovich (Ref. 2058).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00355 - 0.02566), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
