Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Yellowish-brown spots on body and dorsal fins. Distinct sense-papillae between the eyes (Ref. 35388). nape scaled and lateral line system with antero-dorsal longitudinal neuromast rows g long and h reduced to a few papillae (Ref. 86376)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Cryptobenthic, burrowing in muddy sand or mud; often associated with a decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus (Ref. 5299). Feed on polychaetes, small crustaceans and mollusks (Ref. 4696). Eggs are deposited in burrows (Ref. 35388).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.2 - 18.4, mean 10.4 °C (based on 410 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00373 - 0.00972), b=3.05 (2.91 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 1.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2; tmax=11).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 186 [89, 398] mg/100g; Iron = 1.43 [0.77, 2.82] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.4, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.404 [0.188, 0.713] g/100g; Selenium = 23.7 [11.7, 47.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.8 [5.3, 56.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.80, 1.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
