Short description पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स

This species is characterized by the following: disc approximately 2.2-2.4 times as broad as it is long, the maximum disc width size approximately 550 cm; slender whip-like tail approximately 123% of disc length if intact; no distinct caudal spine or cartilaginous mass at base of tail; some specimens have small hump at the base of the tail on the dorsal surface, while others have a slight depression and groove on the dorsum of the tail immediately posterior to the posterior margin of the dorsal fin; small, knob-like dermal denticles evenly distributed on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces, with ventral surface having slightly larger denticles; dental ligament with small cusped teeth on the lower jaw measuring roughly 22% of total disc length, approximately 6-8 rows, 142-182 files across entire width of the tooth band; total tooth counts of 900-1500 for entire tooth band; top jaw lacks rows of enlarged denticles (Ref. 82755).

Adults are commonly sighted inshore, within a few kilometers of land; found around coral and rocky reefs as well as along productive coastlines with consistent upwelling, tropical island groups, atolls and bays (Ref. 82755). Maximum movement recorded is >500,000 m (Ref. 97317). Known aggregations include sites in Hawai'i, Mozambique, Maldives, Ryukyu Island, Yap Island, Indonesia, eastern and western Australia (Ref. 82755). Gestation period is 12-13 months. Major food consists of planktonic organisms and probably small bony fishes (Ref. 114953).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 29, mean 27.8 °C (based on 1274 cells).

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): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

लौटाव (Ref. 120179): बहुत नीचे, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी समय अवलागत 14 महीने। (tmax>31; tm = 3-8; Fec =1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (85 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 5.54 [0.80, 100.50] mg/100g; Iron = 0.474 [0.044, 5.786] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [13.9, 24.5] %; Omega3 = 0.0832 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 90.7 [16.3, 541.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.64 [0.42, 83.54] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.545 [0.030, 6.451] mg/100g (wet weight);
