Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 21 - 23; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 18. This species is distinguished by the following characters: a foramen at the top of the pectoral-fin axil; no tentacles over the eye; fine lines and ridges on the snout, interorbital area, and on top of the head posterior to the orbit (true for the genus); body with distinct black spots on sides and pectoral-fin base; snout 5.0 % SL or greater; eye into caudal-peduncle depth 0.86-1.10 times (Ref. 91120).

This species is not common and apparently choose holes into which it fits snugly. Feeds on whole mlluscs (Amalda optima, Colubraria c.f. castanea, Harpa queketti, Phalium labliatum, and Ranella sp. (Ref. 91120).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
