Etymology: Eustomias: Greek, eu = good + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Gerhard Krefft (1912–1993) was a German ichthyologist and herpetologist whose great uncle was Johann Ludwig Gerard Krefft (below). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ecologia
marinhas; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 550 m (Ref. 11333). Tropical; 10°N - 6°S

Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 11333); 12.5 cm SL (female)
Raios dorsais (total) : 25; Raios anais : 38; Vértebras: 68. Two terminal bulbs separated by a short interspace, 0.4-1.6 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length short 37-44% SL in specimens over 8 cm SL. Three to 9 short, usually bulblet-tipped filaments and 2 long ones, arising together from distal end of distal bulb or from a short stem. Longest filament becoming 23-35% SL in specimens larger than 8 cm; 1 long filament with a prominent large bulblet. Distal bulb 1.2-2.5 times length of proximal-bulb. Axis of stem well pigmented; between bulbs variably pigmented, sometimes forming a dark spot or small cap at proximal end of distal bulb. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas usually unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.

Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00116 - 0.00786), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 4.1 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
