Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 81-90; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 60. Lateral line fairly straight, running mid laterally or slightly nearer the ventral contour than the dorsal contour. First anal fin ray scale-like, others ordinal and short. Pelvic fins reduced to a scale-like process spine. Body silvery white with slight red-brownish on dorsal part; several longitudinal pale yellow stripes on body.

Occurs on the continental slope and sometimes the continental shelf.

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00098 - 0.00486), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.7 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): High vulnerability (63 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
