Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Vertebrae: 101 - 105. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: mouth small, posterior end of gape vertical to near anterior nostril; gill membranes are united ventrally and attached to isthmus by soft tissue; sphenotic has vertically oblong crescent-shaped protrusion from behind the eye to postero-inferior region of orbit; pelvic fin stiff, relatively short, with the tip extending to point anywhere between base and anterior half of pectoral fin; wide pelvic bone (Ref. 127986).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.7 - 12.5, mean 10.6 °C (based on 54 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5315   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
