Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 3; Anal soft rays: 3. Females: esca without distal prolongation of bulb; a single distal branched filament, length less than half diameter of bulb; three branched filaments along each side of bulb, longest 1-3 times diameter of bulb; no posterior appendage. Barbel 24-80% SL in total length; distal half to two third divided into three main-branches, proximal, posterior main-branch simple, anterior main-branch distally divided into 4 filaments, median main branch bifurcated; each secondary branch with one or more filaments; all filaments unpigmented, some branched, each with a series of sessile photophores. Dense concentration of subdermal pigment on caudal peduncle (Ref. 42949). Males: with pointed sphenotic spines (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.5 - 4.6, mean 4.1 °C (based on 12 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):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
