Max length : 4.1 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5951); 23.1 cm TL (female)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 3; Anal soft rays: 2 - 3. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: globular escal bulb, surrounded distally and laterally by a blunt ridge in small specimens; absence of escal filaments or other appendages; barbel divided at base into 4 primary branches of nearly equal length, 40-86% SL, each with varying number of secondary and tertiary branches, more or less prolonged into filaments, each with distal photophore; concentration of subdermal melanophores on caudal peduncle; males with pointed sphenotic spines (Ref. 86949).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2.6 - 3.2, mean 3 °C (based on 70 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):  4.0   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
