Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes(genus, species) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa

Teleostei (teleosts) > Stomiiformes (Lightfishes and dragonfishes) > Stomiidae (Barbeled dragonfishes) > Melanostomiinae
Etymology: Eustomias: Greek, eu = good + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335);  bimargaritoides: From the species name bimargaritatus, adorned with two pearls, and oides, meaning resembling, alluding to the similarity of the terminal barbel filaments of the two species..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 0 - 1200 m (Ref. 11333). Deep-water

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.6 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 11333); 11.8 cm SL (female)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 25; Anal soft rays: 38. Two terminal bulbs separated by a short interspace, 0.5-1.1 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length 44-59% SL. Terminal filament long (21-28% SL), with 2 long branches arising closely together at 6-11 distal-bulb lengths from the distal bulb (at 8.3 - 12.6 cm specimens); all long branches with conspicuous closely-spaced bulblets. Stem of filament with no bulblets and with 1-6 short, slender branches in its basal half. Barbel without melanophores (rarely very sparse on axis of stem). Middorsal paired spots under skin between occiput and dorsal-fin base 8 (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.7 - 18.9, mean 13.5 °C (based on 41 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
