Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Interorbital space flat. Eye large. Pectoral fins not reaching level of anus. Scale rows on back parallel to lateral line. Back and upper sides yellow-orange or pinkish; lower sides and belly silvery white; the caudal fin and the distal edge of the dorsal fin yellowish or orange; the remainder of the dorsal and other fins translucent or whitish.

Although the habitat is poorly known, most specimens have been trawled from relatively deep water at the upper edge of the continental shelf. Reported to occur on soft or semi-hard bottoms (Ref. 5217).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00687 - 0.03186), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.5 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 vulnerability (23 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
