> Perciformes/Zoarcoidei (Eelpouts and pricklebacks) > Zoarcidae (Eelpouts) > Lycodinae
Etymology: Lycodes: Greek, lykos = wolf + Greek, suffix, oides = similar to (Ref. 45335); cortezianus: Named for the Cortez Bank, off San Diego, California (Ref. 4925).
Eponymy: The etymologies do not help, but we believe these species are named after the Sea of Cortez where the holotypes were caught, or in the case of the eelpout, Cortez Bank off San Diego, California. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 5 - 8.7, mean 6.5 °C (based on 52 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00269 (0.00141 - 0.00516), b=3.22 (3.06 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Referencia 120179):  Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100). 🛈
