Short description

Dorsal soft rays (total): 5-6; Anal soft rays: 4; Vertebrae: 18. Interorbital narrow. Ventral surface of disk without tubercles, except lateral line scales on either side of anus. Depressed disk, subtriangular in outline. Triangular rostrum, acutely pointed; overhanging mouth, its terminal spine upswept. Aperture of illicial cavity with a broad dorsal median notch. Gill rakers finger-like pedicels with thin plates filling the angles between the pedicels and gill arch; a cluster of tiny teeth at distal end of each pedicel. Cephalic lateral line scale counts: preopercular 2-4; subopercular 4-6; dorsolateral branch of subopercular 3; supraorbital 6-8. Lateral line scale counts on body 9-11; tail 7-14. Moderately sized fins weak (Ref. 40825).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
PD₅₀ = 0.5010 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
3.3 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278)
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153)
Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100)

Price category (Ref. 80766)
