Etymology: Upeneus: Greek, ypene, -es = upper lip (Ref. 45335); seychellensis: The name of this species seychellensis derives from the tiny distributional range currently known for this species, which is limited to a single trawling station close to the southeastern edge of the Seychelles Bank (Ref. 87809).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00454 - 0.02011), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref.
