Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 1; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 12. Body white to grey-brown in color, underside darker (Ref. 3974). Insertion of the pelvic fin only slightly anterior to the origin of the dorsal fin. Lacks scale on the opercle (Ref. 37108).

Occurs on the middle and lower slope primarily above the 4°C isotherm. Hovers within a few meters of substrate, parallel to it or inclined at varying angles (Ref. 6727). Feeds on polychaetes, pelecypods, amphipods and other benthic prey (Ref. 6727).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 2.5 - 6.6, mean 4 (based on 1890 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.40 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Assuming tmax>10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
