Etymology: Hydrolagus: hydro-, combining form of hydor (Gr.), water; lagos (Gr.), hare, i.e., “water rabbit,” probably referring to three pairs of tooth plates, which tend to protrude from the mouth like a rabbit’s incisors (See ETYFish); marmoratus: Latin for marbled, referring to marbled pattern of greyish brown reticulations on sides (See ETYFish).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This chimaeroid fish has a ventral caudal fin that that is not indented at its origin to form a separate anal fin and is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: color of body pale brown with prominent reticulations on sides, dorsal fin and spine whitish basally; the dorsal-fin spine is slightly shorter than or subequal in height of first dorsal fin, while the pelvic fins somewhat rectangular in shape (not broadly rounded); pelvic claspers of males are
mostly pale, divided for the distal 2/3 of their length (Ref. 76967).
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=0.00331 (0.00137 - 0.00798), b=3.07 (2.87 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.9 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Deepwater species with few large eggs.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
High vulnerability (59 of 100). 🛈 |
