Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Vertebrae: 83 - 85. The body is highly elongated, slender, depth less than 13% SL; 83-85 vertebrae; no anal lateral line; dorsal lateral line highly reduced and represented only by 1-3 tubular scales; infraorbital canal with 9 pores; preopercular-mandibular canal with 10 pores (7 in its mandibular branch, 3 in the preopercular branch) (Ref. 84346).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -0.3 - 0.3, mean -0.1 °C (based on 57 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 1.0020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00171 - 0.01116), b=3.11 (2.89 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
