Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

Head large; mouth subterminal. Eye diameter less than snout length. Opercular spine weak, broad, and flattened. Prominent cephalic sensory pores below eyes and on rear margin of preoperculum. Median basibranchial tooth patches 2. Vomer with V-shaped tooth patch. Anterior gill arch with 10-12 long rakers. Pectoral fins 12-15 rays, the longest about 1/2 or more in SL. Pelvic fins with 2 joined rays in each. Caudal fin rays 6. Branchiostegal rays 8. Precaudal vertebrae 15-16. Cycloid scales small, deciduous, covering head, body, and bases of dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins. Lateral line indistinct (Ref. 43943).

A rare species inhabiting the deep-sea floor in the tropical to temperate waters (Ref. 43943). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.6 - 7.8, mean 4.8 °C (based on 786 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00167 - 0.00864), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
