Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 42 - 45; Anal soft rays: 47 - 49. Eel-like, shallow body depth; 1 to several symphyseal fangs on dentary and premaxilla; lacking cardiform teeth, pelvic fins, and swim bladder rocker bone; a patch of ridges posteriorly on the ventral surface of the swim bladder (Ref. 34024). Pigmented eye diameter greater than 16% head length (Ref. 34024). Pre-dorsal bone present; maxilla extends well behind orbit; precaudal vertebrae 25-29 (Ref. 232). Reddish with silvery abdomen, operculum and iris; dark markings on head and median edges (Ref. 232).
Common species. Free-living, fairly deep. Assumed to feed on small invertebrates and fish (Ref. 34024). Feed on small bottom animals (Ref. 35388).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.1 - 10.2, mean 8.4 °C (based on 170 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [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): 4.0 ±0.65 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 24.6 [5.8, 82.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.475 [0.170, 1.188] mg/100g; Protein = 16.2 [13.8, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.313 [0.121, 0.824] g/100g; Selenium = 10.7 [3.5, 36.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.1 [3.1, 61.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.445 [0.229, 0.859] mg/100g (wet weight);
