Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 3 - 4; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 4; Vértebra: 20. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).

Maximum size observed for free living males is 1.3 cm (Ref. 10524). Males are parasitic, females oviparous with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494). Minimum depth from Ref. 037729.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2 - 9.7, mean 3.8 °C (based on 7133 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6875 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
