Etymology: Santelmoa: Named after the Spanish ship San Telmo lost in the 'Terra Australis Incognita' (in Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, according to Pinochet de la Barra 1993) on 2-4 September 1819, in honour of the 644 Spanish shipwrecked.;  fusca: The specific name, fusca, is after the Latin word fuscus (dark) and refers to the body colour of type specimens (Ref. 89950).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 109-113; Anal spines: 88-94. Can be diagnosed by the following characters: mouth terminal; oral valve overlapping the anterior edge of vomer; two posterior nasal pores of similar size; lateral line double with ventral and medio-lateral branches; two irregular rows of palatine teeth; vomerine teeth present; dorsal fin rays 109-113; anal fin rays 88-94; pectoral fin rays 15-17; vertebrae asymmetrical, 27-29 + 87-91 = 114-118; two pyloric caeca well developed; pseudobranch filaments 3-6, elongated. Scales reduced to tail, absent on head and body (Ref. 89950).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00057 - 0.00252), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
