Etymology: Bassozetus: Latin, bassus = thick, fat + Greek, ketos = marine mosnter, whale (Ref. 45335); trachibranchus: trachibranchus'(Greek), i.e. 'trachys', means coarse and 'branchion' means gills. Refers to numerous small tooth patches found along the lower limbs of the species (Ref. 123866).

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=0.00110 (0.00040 - 0.00300), b=3.08 (2.85 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). 🛈 |
