Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 5-6; Anal soft rays: 4. Characterized by having escal morphology: esca with filamentous, branched anterior appendage two times length of escal bulb, without internal pigment; presence of spots of dark pigment on most branches of anterior appendage; absence of medial escal appendage; rounded or conical terminal escal papilla with two bilaterally placed distal spots of pigment; posterior escal appendage, as long as escal bulb, with an anteroposteriorly compressed distal end, posterior surface of which is slightly concave and darkly pigmented; absence of lateral escal appendage; two pairs of filamentous anterolateral escal appendages; inner pair of branched tapering appendages flanking anterior appendage, each less than one-half length of escal bulb; long and narrow subopercle, dorsal end tapering to a point, without indentation on posterodorsal margin; length of ventral fork of opercle 25.3-28.6% SL; ratio of lengths of the dorsal and ventral forks of opercle 0.54-0.62; absence of epibranchial teeth; presence of teeth on pharyngobranchial II; upper jaw teeth 49-69, lower jaw teeth 46-60; teeth on vomer 4-8; dorsal fin rays 5-6; anal fin rays 4; pectoral fin rays 15-16; head length 38.9-43.4% SL; head depth 37.7-41.7% SL; premaxilla length 32.2-33.3% SL; length of lower jaw 42.1-44.3% SL; length of illicium 45.9-51.6% SL (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.3 - 4.1, mean 3.7 °C (based on 16 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [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):  4.2   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
