Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 121 - 139; Radios blandos anales: 91 - 102; Vértebra: 71 - 78. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: dorsal-fin rays 121-139; anal-fin rays 91-102; total vertebrae 71-78; otolith ostium depth 30-40% of sulcus length (Ref. 80689).

One specimen from the eastern Pacific was examined and radiographs showed the following stomach contents: detritus, gastropods, crustaceans, ophiurids, remains of polychaetes, foraminifera, sediment, and bivalves. From individuals with filled stomachs), detritus was found to be 88%, followed by gastropods (52%), crustaceans (44%), and ophiurids (36%). Observed ontogenetic trend in the consumption of gastropods with 18.2% in specimens less than 45 cm SL (n=11) and 78.6% in specimens greater than 45 cm SL (n=14, Fisher’s Exact Test, P<0.005); all gastropod shells were intact (Ref. 80689).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [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).

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

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).
