Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 49;
Anal
soft rays: 43;
Vertebrae: 55. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: vertebrae 55 (10+45), no pleural ribs; D 49, A 43, P 26, C 9 (principal rays); hypural is unslitted; head small, 17.7 % SL; preanal length 34.0 % SL; body is deep behind the head (119 % lc) and above anal-fin origin (113 % lc), end of tail thin (at about one fifth SL); eye 26.4 % lc; pelvic disk 41.5 % lc; pores 2-6-7-1; pectoral-fin upper lobe short (11.3 % SL), lower lobe slightly longer (13.3 % SL). Colouration: when fresh it is grayish brown with reddish tint; peritoneum black (Ref. 123325).
The sediment from the Agassiz trawl included gray and brown silt and the bycatch was dominated by the holothurians Molpadia sp., Echiura and glass sponges; polychaetes were numerous (not less than 12 species including Travisia sp.). Also gorgonians and alcionarians, as well as ascidia of Culeolus sp., colonies of bryozoans Kinetoskias were few (Ref. 123108).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00204 - 0.00980), b=3.17 (2.99 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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).
