Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 72; Raggi anali molli: 42. M. bruuni differs from all other species of the genus except M. jesperseni in having a glandular part of the dorsal fin. Is distinguished by the following combination of characters: head short, snout blunt, skull length 3.8% TL, rostral fang with dorsal profile slightly convex forming an almost straight line with frontal part of skull, dorsal fin origin above myomere number 13, and small pectoral fins (ca. 1% TL).

Holotype was captured with a ringnet, at a depth of about 4000 m (Ref. 34506).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
