Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished by the combination of its moderately large gill opening
(width 3.1-3.7 in HL), somewhat smaller pelvic fin rudiment (width 1.4-1.6 in gill opening) consisting of 2 apparent fin rays in each half, 4 cephalic pores (1 POP, 1 ANP, 2 LP) in the
lateral line system, and its unique colour pattern (Ref. 76765).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
General appearance similar to A. parvula, but is smaller in size and occurs in waters of much greater depth (Ref. 76765).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 11.3 - 13.8, mean 11.9 °C (based on 19 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5005 [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): 3.2 ±0.3 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).
