Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Eel-like, moderate to relatively deep body depth; a large single vomerine fang; pelvic fin rays present; swim bladder large, filling visceral cavity and extending past anus; dorsal and anal fin radials robust and elongate; dorsal fin anteriad or directly over anal fin origin; lacking rockerbone, cardiform teeth, and intrinsic swim bladder constrictions or tunic ridges (Ref. 34024). Body lightly pigmented with dorsal and anal fin margins pigmented over posterior quarter; precaudal vertebrae 17-19; anus more posterior with distance from snout to anus 130 to 151% head length (Ref. 34024).

A benthic (Ref. 75154) and rare species (Ref. 34024). Probably a free-living species of the outer shelf and upper continental slope.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.9 - 19.1, mean 13.8 °C (based on 66 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (19 of 100).

Pyramodon punctatus (Regan, 1914)
