Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Body extremely slender. Dorsal and ventral coloration sharply contrasted; fine dark horizontal lines forming series of fine dots and dashes on upper half of body; a dark ventral saddle near middle of caudal peduncle. Head relatively short (usually < 21% TL). Caudal peduncle very elongate (usually > 23% TL). Eyes rather narrow; upper eyelid with pale naked patch. Denticles extremely dense, bristle-like, not arranged in defined rows. Flank-marking base forward of second dorsal-fin spine; its posterior branch longer than anterior branch and extending beyond free rear tip of second dorsal fin; central caudal marking absent. Monospondylous centra 41-45 (Ref. 45056).

Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.9 - 8.1, mean 6.8 °C (based on 26 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00191 - 0.00758), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
