Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 4 - 6; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 4; Vertebrae: 18 - 19. Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36492). First dorsal spine modified to form a lure called illicium (Ref. 36492).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found on sand bottom (Ref. 2850). Adults feed on small crustaceans and fish (Ref. 4525). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36492). Eggs are presumably contained in floating rafts (Ref. 36492).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.02455 (0.00995 - 0.06053), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.65 se; based on food items. |
| Generation time | 3.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.3). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100). 🛈 |
