Etymology: Trematomus: Greek, trematos = hole + Greek, tomo = section, cut (Ref. 45335); nicolai: Named after Nicolai Hanson, biologist and collector of Southern Cross fishes, died at Cape Adare during the expedition (Ref. 11892).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4 - 5; Anal soft rays: 31 - 35. Body brownish, more or less distinct dark crossbars, scattered small dark spots, fins dusky, spiny dorsal blackish (Ref. 11892).
A nearshore benthic species usually abundant in shelf waters of East Antartica (Ref. 122792). Adults feed primarily on amphipods, other fishes, and molluscan larvae, with lesser amount of polychaetes and mysids. They capture some prey in the water column, but are not cryopelagic.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -1.8 - -0.4, mean -1.4 °C (based on 382 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00422 - 0.00943), b=3.21 (3.09 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 13.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec = 8,900).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
