Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 72-75; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 56 - 59. Body pale brownish, with small ocelli at junction between curved and straight portions of lateral line and another one near middle of straight section. Upper profile of head without a distinct notch or with slight notch in front of upper eye. Origin of dorsal fin slightly in front of anterior margin of upper and just above posterior nostril on blind side. Pectoral fin on ocular side with 12-13 soft rays (Ref 9774).

Inhabits shallow waters, on mud and sand bottoms of continental shelves (Ref. 9774). Feeds on small benthic animals (Ref. 9774). Marketed mostly fresh (Ref. 9774).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00365 - 0.01649), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
