Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 2; Épines anales: 0. Light brown above, black below, with a pale stripe on side and a black streak above and behind pelvic fins; belly luminous (Ref. 26346). Small and slender, with a moderately elongate caudal peduncle and with flank denticles mostly arranged in regular rows. The base of the pelvic flank markings is inserted in advance of the origin of the second dorsal-fin spine, the anterior branch is shorter than the posterior branch, and the caudal marking is longer than the precaudal marking (Ref. 6871).

Probably demersal (Ref. 31367) on upper continental slopes (Ref. 6871). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205), size at birth about 15 cm (Ref. 6871).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.8 - 14.1, mean 9.8 (based on 208 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00191 - 0.00758), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Assuming Fec<10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).

Etmopterus molleri (Whitley, 1939)
