> Lophiiformes (Anglerfishes) > Gigantactinidae (Whipnose anglers)
Etymology: Gigantactis: Greek, 'gigas' or 'gigantos' = gigantic + Greek, 'aktis' = ray (referring to the unusually long first dorsal-fin spine that functions as a lure in this genus) (Ref. 86949).
Eponymy: Kai L Elsman was a scientific illustrator, particularly of ichthyological and entomological subjects. The etymology says: “This species is named for the late Kai L. Elsman, whose superb illustrations have added immeasurably to this revision.” (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 5; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4 - 5. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: have single proximal lateral pair and two distal pairs of large escal filaments and lacking distinct distal prolongation of the escal bulb; length of illicium less than 130% SL (93-126%SL); absence of escal papillae; relatively short dentary teeth (longest 3.3% DL), arranged in five or six longitudinal series; longest caudal fin rays 21-32.5% SL (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.1 - 11.2, mean 6.1 °C (based on 429 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
