Etymology: Callionymus: Greek, kallion, comparative of kallos = beautiful + Greek, onyma = name; with a better name.
Eponymy: Professor Giovanni Antonio Risso (1777–1845) (aka Joseph Antoine Risso) was an Italian-French naturalist and the first to describe deep-sea fishes as distinctive fauna and describe depth zonation with different species living in discrete depth [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.1 - 18.7, mean 14.8 °C (based on 118 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00657 - 0.01052), b=2.77 (2.72 - 2.82), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 95.7 [22.0, 289.7] mg/100g; Iron = 1.27 [0.47, 4.54] mg/100g; Protein = 3.08 [0.00, 6.84] %; Omega3 = 0.306 [0.132, 0.675] g/100g; Selenium = 20.3 [4.0, 57.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.1 [5.3, 50.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.02 [0.52, 2.04] mg/100g (wet weight);
