Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 4; Vertebrae: 18. Preserved specimens with dusky tan dorsally, pale ventrally. Centers of scales flecked with black around bases of apical spines (Ref. 6612). Tubercles on dorsal surface of disk with simple spines, elsewhere on body with multi-spined tubercles, especially prominent on principal tubercles of tail; fins without tubercles. Rostrum with a large multifold median spine protruding beyond its neighbors, terminating in 5 or more flaring spinelets (Ref. 40826).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 2 - 13.5, mean 10.2 °C (based on 169 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.00925 - 0.05675), b=2.94 (2.72 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
