Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 20; Anal soft rays: 32. This species is distinguished by the a unique barbel structure: barbel short, its length 19.6% SL; terminal bulb rounded and large, its greatest width almost 5 times of stem width; presence of a simple, thin appendage of branch arising near base of terminal bulb with its distal tip extending beyond terminal bulb; two long (longer than terminal bulb) and one short (as long as barbel diameter) filaments on distal tip of terminal bulb; branch and terminal filaments without pigments, luminous swellings, and secondary branches; stem unpigmented, axis pigmented; further unique meristic characters in the subgenus include, D 20; A 32; IP 8; PV 33; VAV 14 (Ref. 121636).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

This species was collected from a depth shallower than 100 m, by a mid-water trawl that was targeting the Sakura-shrimp (Lucensosergia lucens) (Ref. 121636).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.7 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).
