Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.7 cm SL (female)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 5; Anal soft rays: 5. Escal bulb without membranous anterior crest; the distal escal appendage an elongate, cylindrical stalk, with an expanded distal end and an elongate, compressed prolongation emerging anteriorly from bases of escal hooks, without lateral serration. But bearing tiny filaments at distal tip. Prolongation of distal escal appendage extremely short, 2.9% SL (vs. 5.2-20.8% SL). There are 2 lightly pigmented, bony, hooklike denticles embedded in esca. Posterior escal appendage laterally compressed, with a rounded posterior margin and pointed distal tip (Ref. 56229).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5352 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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