Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 0. Genus: pair of barbels on throat; color pattern of dark saddles, no light or dark spots (Ref. 43278). Species: Six or possibly ten diffuse saddle marks on dorsal surface, saddles above abdomen rounded and continuing above pelvic-fin bases, not C-shaped, head length three times first dorsal-fin base (Ref. 43278). Gill region without collar marking (Ref. 13572).

Found on the continental shelf, offshore on or near the bottom (Ref. 247). Food habits unknown (Ref. 13572). Oviparous (Ref. 43278, 50449). Interest to fisheries unknown (Ref. 13572). Probably taken as discarded by-catch of offshore trawl fisheries in the area (Ref. 43278).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.5 - 21.9, mean 13.1 °C (based on 71 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.6289 [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).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100) .
