Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 31 - 33; Anal soft rays: 12; Vertebrae: 48 - 50. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: Dorsal-fin origin is well behind the pelvic fin origin, predorsal length 39.6-41.2% SL; D 31-33; A 12 (Ref. 117888).

This species was collected from 100 m on sand, possibly from finer shell hash deposits. This collection also yielded high diversity of other organisms, including a large amount of sponges, as well as rubble while the second area of collection included gorgonians and shell hash (Ref.117888)

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [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): 3.4 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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