Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 21; Raggi anali molli: 23; Vertebre: 53. This species is distinguished by the following set of unique derived characters: mental barbel is distally expanded; no bulbs or appendages but with distal portion unpigmented and apparently luminous; two posteriormost photophores VAV distinctly raised (vs. all photophores VAV on the same level in all its congeners) (Ref. 120405).

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
