Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 20. Distinguished from all other members of the family Callionymidae, except Draculo mirabilis (=Eleutherochir mirabilis) by the absence of first dorsal fin. Differs from D. mirabilis by possessing 8 dorsal-fin rays vs. 12-14 rays, 7 anal-fin rays vs. 12-14, all anal-fin rays, except the last, unbranched vs. all rays branched), and the opercular membrane fused with the body vs. not fused (Ref. 56950).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Inhabits lake with mud substrate (Ref. 56950).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00394 - 0.02313), b=2.96 (2.75 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
