Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 26 - 30; Vertebrae: 79 - 83. This species is distinguished by the following characters: light organ duct extending to beyond the anterior margin of eye; most similar to Lestidium atlanticum but differs by having relatively more prehaemal vertebrae (37-40 vs. 36-37), with a shorter snout (snout length 9.7-10.4 vs. 10.4-11.5% SL), shorter jaws (upper jaw 8.6-10.1 vs. 9.9-11.3% SL; lower jaw 11.9-13.7 vs. 13.5-14.8% SL) and with a relatively deep head (head depth 31.2-33.9 vs. 27.6-31.5% HL) (Ref. 121637).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00088 - 0.00547), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.6 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.
