Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes( genus , species ) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa Teleostei (teleosts) > Alepocephaliformes (Slickheads and tubeshoulders.) > Alepocephalidae (Slickheads) Etymology: Alepocephalus: Greek, alepos, alepidotos = without scales + Greek, kephale = head (Ref. 45335 ) ;   planifrons: Named for its wide, smooth upper surface on the head. . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 400 - 750 m (Ref. 41471 ). Deep-water Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Southeast Pacific. Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 31.7 cm SL (female) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal soft rays (total): 17-20; Anal soft rays : 18 - 21; Vertebrae : 52 - 54. Head relatively short, <39.5-0.025% SL. Snout short (22-28%HL); broadly triangular anteriorly when viewed from above. Orbit diameter about 1/5 to 1/4 HL, along the whole upper edge and on the separate elongate-shaped part of the lower-posterior part of the orbit are accumulation s of whitish connective tissue. Interorbital space very wide, ca. 17-30% HL, flat, narrows very slightly at the middle of the orbit. Upper jaw extends to below the center of the orbit. Branchiostegal rays 8-9. Transverse rows of scales above lateral line 60-65, 30-35 predorsal. Gill rakers" length less than gill lamellae length, and completely free at the base. Opercle has a projection at the lower anterior corner; subopercle has a wide posterior edge usually with no separate processes. Anus not shifted forward from the origin of the anal fin. Pyloric caeca 12-18 (Ref. 41471 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Inhabits continental slopes.

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00347 (0.00164 - 0.00733), b=3.19 (3.00 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.6   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
