Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total): 11-14; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 16. This species is distinguished from other species in the subgenus Photonectes by the following set of characters: dorsal-fin rays 11-14, anal-fin rays 12-16; IV photophores 38-39, PV photophores 24-25; no blue luminous tissue; reduced length of gill filaments on first branchial arch, less than depth of gill arch; barbel with 2 large bulbs in series; two large bulbs in series and a tiny bulb at the end of the filament. Photonectes waitti differs from P. mirabilis and P. phyllopogon in having 11-14 dorsal-fin rays (vs. 16-17 and 20-23, respectively), 12-16 anal-fin rays (vs. 19-20 and 22-25, respectively), and 38-39 IV photophores (vs. 33-34 and 30-31, respectively); from P. coffea in having gill filaments on first gill arch reduced (vs. very long, extending beyond gill opening), PV photophores 24-25 (vs. 29-31); from P. achirus, P. caerulescens, and P. mirabilis in lacking blue luminous tissue (Ref. 92891).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9 - 19.8, mean 13 °C (based on 233 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
