Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species of the H. aculeatus complex is distinguished by having a relatively strong and sharp tubercles on dorsal part of body; both inner and outer sphenotic tubercles are well developed; a row of tubercles almost always present dorsal to orbit; trifid principal tubercles on disk margin with anterior spinelet enlarged; dense arrangement of tubercles on the tail (Ref. 85070).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Most specimens are taken less than 100 m (Ref. 85070).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.6 - 22.7, mean 19.3 °C (based on 46 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.00925 - 0.05675), b=2.94 (2.72 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
