Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 5; Dorsal soft rays (total): 20; Anal soft rays: 24. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D V,20; A 24; pectoral-fin rays 17-19; V I,5; dorsal-fin spines are closely set creating a narrow base, the first spine is greatly elongated, reaching to middle of caudal fin; dorsal lobe of caudal fin with filamentous tip; about 33 tubed lateral-line scales, the posterior margin narrowly incised or crenulated; at the anterior end of each maxilla is a short, curved spine (maxillary spine); with a short rostral barbel (Ref. 95663).
Collected by a beam trawl over hard, sandy, rocky bottom (Ref. 95663).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [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): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
