Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 133-143; Anal soft rays: 102 - 112. Caudal vertebrae 49-55; mid-lateral line scales 115-125. Differs from all other species in the genus Paraplagusia by the non-overlapping high counts for the dorsal and anal fin rays, caudal vertebrae and mid-lateral line scales.

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00585 - 0.03109), b=2.95 (2.75 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100) .
