Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 81; Raggi anali molli: 73; Vertebre: 86. This species is distinguished from the other five Barathronus species with pigmented peritoneum by the following set of characters: D 81, A 73, pectoral-fin rays 25; anterior gill arch with 33 long rakers; vertebrae, precaudal 36, total 86; no ventral flexure of anteriormost vertebrae; vomer with 3 fangs; with a distinct brown streak in midline of body and a concentration of brown pigment between dorsal fin and nape; rounded, 1 mm long otoliths seen through of the skull (Ref. 121928).

Rare species (Ref. 34024).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
