Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 5; Anal soft rays: 21 - 24. Diagnosis: Metamorphosed females of this species have short illicium (11.5-12.6%SL); have two anterior escal appendage; and considerably shorter, stouter, distal escal appendage (6.4-15.8%SL) (Ref. 53300).

Eastern Pacific: 2 records of which holotype, Off Guadalupe Island, Mexico (29°16'30"-29°35'30"N, 118°11'30"-118°18'30"W). North-eastern Atlantic: 1 record (56°N, 26°W). Central-western Atlantic: 1 record in Sargasso Sea. Indian Ocean: 1 record.

Known from nine (9) known specimens (Ref. 10523, 53300). A 9.6-cm specimen appears to be a sexually mature, where the right ovary, about 26 mm long (27.1%SL), contains approximately 130,000 eggs (count based on extrapolation from wet weight) each about 0.3 mm in diameter (Ref. 53300).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (-0.30300 - 0.32300), b=3.04 (2.92 - 3.16), based on all LWR estimates for this BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
