Etymology: Astronesthes: Greek, astra = ray + Greek, esthes, -es = suit, something used to wrap (Ref. 45335); atlanticus: The specific name is related to the species range, which lies within limits of the Atlantic Ocean (Ref. 27676).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 14-15;
Anal
soft rays: 13 - 15;
Vertebrae: 43 - 45. Last photophore of VAL series behind origin of anal and last photophore of VAV series. Aggregation of luminous tissue on head, when fully developed in fish > 7 cm SL, forming two triangular spots in upper and lower corners of gill cover; longitudinally orientated aggregations of luminous tissue on the anterior part of body, the largest of them behind pectoral fin insertion (slightly above lateral row of photophores) and close to pelvic fins (above median line of body and immediately above lateral row of photophores) (Ref. 27676).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00211 (-0.18000 - 0.18421), b=3.16 (3.06 - 3.26), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100) .
