Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
V 69, D 60, A 54, P 20, notch rays long, some rudimentary. Mandibular pores set well back from symphysis and edges of lower jaw, chin pore pair not in a pit, close together, posterior to symphyseal knob of lower jaw. Teeth almost entirely uniserial except near symphysis. Pectoral fin lower lobe much longer than upper lobe. Radials 4, round, R2 and R3 notched opposite to each other, other radials unnotched. Scapular helve absent, coracoid with deep basal notch. (Ref. 90026).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00221 - 0.00989), b=3.17 (2.98 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100) .
