Etymology: Paraliparis: Greek, para = the side of + Greek, liparis = fat (Ref. 45335); camilarus: The new species is named in honor of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Resources, CCAMLR, under whose auspices this species was collected. Thus the specific epithet camilarus (Ref. 90026).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00237 - 0.01161), b=3.15 (2.96 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
