Etymology: Muraenolepis: Latin, muraena = morey eel + Greek, lepis = scale (Ref. 45335);  pacifica: The name of the species is related to its origin in the Pacific Ocean (Ref. 78500).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecologia

marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 200 - 450 m (Ref. 76910). Deep-water; 53°S - 59°S, 141°W - 140°W (Ref. 76910)

Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 39.0 cm TL (female)

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 173 - 187; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 126 - 133; Vertebre: 72 - 75. The caudal part is shorter in proportions. The postanal distance over the body length, and the postanal distance over the ante-anal distance are diagnostic, especially on the field. Other Muraenolepis are quite different.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5059   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
