Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 30; Vertebrae: 80. This species belonging to the Lestidiops mirabilis species complex has the pelvic-fin origin (VFO) under dorsal-fin base and the anus farther posteriorly; dorsal portion of body and lateral line are covered with melanophores, but large unpigmented areas present on lower portions of head and abdomen; lateral-line scales: before dorsal-fin origin (PDLL) 32-33, before VFO (PVLL) 33-34, and before anal-fin origin (PALL) 47-48, total number of lateral-line scales, including large and small scales (TLL) 66-70; vertebrae: before dorsal-fin origin (PDV) 32-33, before VFO (PVV) 33-34 and and before anal-fin origin (PAV) 47-48, numbers of prehaemal (PHV) 34-35, caudal (CV) 44-45, and total (TV) 80; total number of gill rakers 42-44 (based on adult specimens). Juveniles without dark blotches or bands (Ref. 128666).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adult specimens were caught by bottom trawl at an estimated depth of ca. 300 m based on other fishes collected in the bycatch (Ref. 128666).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.9 - 26.1, mean 19.8 °C (based on 258 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.5 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).
