Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 47-52; Anal soft rays: 43 - 45; Vertebrae: 53 - 57. This species is distinguished from all its congeners described in North Pacific by having a small teardrop-shaped body, with loose thin skin, and anterior dorsal-fin rays buried in tissue; differs from C. spiraki and C. maslenikovae in lacking small, rounded bumps on its body and in having a single chin pore (vs. two chin pores), higher counts of pectoral-fin rays 32-38 (vs. 28-32 in C. spiraki, 26-29 in C. maslenikovae), vertebrae 53-57 (vs. 42-46 and 42-43, respectively), dorsal-fin rays 47-52 (vs. 38-43 and 38-40), and anal-fin rays 43-45 (vs. 32-37 and 32-33) (Ref. 124469).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00204 - 0.00980), b=3.17 (2.99 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
