> Anguilliformes (Eels and morays) > Nettastomatidae (Duckbill eels)
Etymology: Facciolella: Latin, diminutive of falx, falcis = sickle (Ref. 45335); karrerae: Named in honor of Dr. Christine Karrer, Hamburg, in recognition of her contributions to the knowledge of Anguilliformes of the western Indian Ocean and her studies on deep-sea fishes of the Red Sea of the Senckenberg-Museum.
Eponymy: Dr Luigi Facciolà (1851–1943) was an Italian physician and ichthyologist who was the first to recognise and describe the Witch-Eel genus (1911) but in doing so used a preoccupied name (Nettastomella). [...] Dr Christine Karrer is a German biologist and ichthyologist at the Zoologisches Museum der Universität Hamburg. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.7 - 21.8, mean 21.7 °C (based on 11 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00036 - 0.00222), b=2.98 (2.76 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Assuming tmax>10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
