Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 2. Snout 2.5 in HL; viewed dorsally somewhat duck-bill shaped, lateral margins convex, completely supported by bone; terminal scute blunt; orbits large, about equal to interorbital width, 1.6-1.7 in snout. Subopercle terminates in slender acute flap. Dermal window of light organ prominent, immediately anterior to periproct, length about 1/3 orbit diameter. Anus slightly removed from anal fin. Underside of head covered with numerous dark filamentous and flaplike papillae; almost entirely naked except for patch above end of lower jaw and at end of preopercle; nasal fossa scaled over entire ventral surfaces. Spinules on body scales strong, bladelike, with broad buttresses; arranged in 4 or 5 divergent rows. First dorsal fin uniformly dark; other fins dark to dusky; mouth dark.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00257 (0.00132 - 0.00501), b=3.19 (3.02 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Very high vulnerability (90 of 100). 🛈 |
