Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 85; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 71; Vertebrae: 83 - 97. This genus is distinguished by the following characters: presence of submental crests, not fused anteriorly; elongated and narrow neurocranium; the frontal bones are totally fused with no trace of a suture, the frontal corner squared; long frontal ramus; the sphenotic and parietal separated by pterotic; parietal bones meet in the mid-line; parasphenoid wing height high; juncture of ceratohyal-epihyal is smooth; branchiostegal rays 5; posterior hyomandibular ramus elongate; well developed palatal arch and posttemporal ventral ramus; scapular foramen enclosed by bone; with scapular strut; 4 notched radials (= actinosts); with postcleithrum; 85 dorsal fin-rays (last 7 counted from dorsal-fin pterygiophores); 71 anal-fin rays (last 10 counted from anal-fin pterygiophores); 18 pectoral fin rays; presence of pelvic bone; vertebrae asymmetrical (21+68=89); ribs on 4?21 abdominal vertebrae; 1 epural; dorsal-fin origin associated with vertebrae 4; well developed oral valve; gill slit extending ventrally to lower end of pectoral-fin base; blunt gill rakers; nub-like pyloric caeca; presence of scales, palatine and vomerine teeth; pale oral cavity; black peritoneum; a blurred brown band between the anteroventral edge of the eye and the upper jaw. Additional diagnostic characters are the following: frontal and parasphenoid not separated by pterosphenoid; supraoccipital-exoccipìtal articulation excluded by epioccipitals; no supratemporal commissure and occipital pores; ascending rami of the parasphenoid reaches the upper margin of the trigeminofacialis foramen; well developed intercalar, not reaching prootic; 8-9 suborbital bones, canal with 7 pores; postorbital pores 1 and 4; single posterior nasal pore; cartilaginous basal plate of pectoral girdle with three foramina; vertebrae asymmetrical (19-21+ 64-77 = 83-97); dorsal-fin origin associated with vertebrae 2-4; well developed oral valve; blunt gill rakers; pelvic-fin rays ensheathed; squamation extensive, but head and pectoral-fin base and axil have no scales; lateral line mediolateral, palatine teeth 9-23; vomerine teeth 7-17 (Ref. 90127).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.5 - 9.7, mean 6.6 °C (based on 341 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00146 - 0.00545), b=3.20 (3.03 - 3.37), 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 (26 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 39.7 [23.0, 72.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.312 [0.185, 0.538] mg/100g; Protein = 16.4 [12.7, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.511 [0.291, 0.861] g/100g; Selenium = 17.7 [8.5, 41.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.6 [5.7, 48.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.693 [0.499, 0.982] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
