(See ETYFish);  macrostomus: macro-, from makros (Gr.), long or large; stomus, from stoma (Gr.), mouth, allusion not explained, perhaps referring to its having the widest mouth among its South China Sea congeners. (See ETYFish).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00176 - 0.00714), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (Fec assumed to be <10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
