Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 2; Anal spines: 0. Recognized by its tremendous, mandarin-like nasal barbels (Ref. 247).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found on the uppermost continental and insular slopes, and probably the outer continental-insular shelves (Ref. 31367). Probably feeds on bottom fishes and some invertebrates (Ref. 247). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205), with 10 pups in a litter (Ref. 247). Although not utilized commercially, the liver is relatively high in squalene oil (Ref. 6871).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00363 (0.00173 - 0.00761), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.61 se; based on food items. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec=10). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Very high vulnerability (75 of 100). 🛈 |
