Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 7; Anal soft rays: 4 - 5. Escal bulb without membranous anterior crest. Distal escal appendage an elongate, cylindrical stalk, with a slender, elongate prolongation emerging anteriorly from bases of escal hooks, bearing numerous lateral serrations or filaments. Posterior escal appendage laterally compressed and rounded (Ref 27827). Length of illicium 39-46%; posterior escal appendage a compressed flange, length 1.4-4.4% SL, with irregularly rounded edge and broad base, emerging from below escal pore; escal hooks black, relative length of medial (largest) hook decreasing with age from about 10.3% SL in 30mm specimen to 3.6% SL in 77mm specimens (Ref. 86949).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Feeds mainly on fish and occasionally on invertebrates (Ref. 27828).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.60 se; based on food items. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (25 of 100). 🛈 |
