Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 6.2  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 1371)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 48-51; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 41 - 43. Head relatively large, less than five times in SL. Skin fold above the upper lip with three pairs of lobes or small barbels. First fin ray followed by a row of small, fleshy filaments (Ref. 1371). One barbel on the lower jaw and four on the snout (Ref. 35388).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in the sublittoral zone, on sand or mud bottoms. Feed mostly on decapod crustaceans, lobsters, crabs, mysids and polychaetes (Ref. 3663). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Spawning may take place in deeper waters (Ref. 57987).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.7 - 12.3, mean 10.3 °C (based on 564 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00418 - 0.01256), b=3.15 (3.00 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.44 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
