: 37 - 50. Dorsal fin extending about halfway along length of caudal fin; caudal narrow, slightly rounded; lower 6 rays of pectorals slightly thickened and completely exserted, the next 5 greatly to moderately exserted and longer than the rays immediately above them, no real notch in fin; pelvic fins modified to form a small adhesive disc with a thickened margin, placed far forward, below eye (Ref.
6885
). Off-white to pale rose on body; ends of pectoral and edges of posterior parts of dorsal and anal, and most of the caudal, black; lining of mouth and gill cavity, and tongue black (Ref.
6885
).
Found on mud bottoms (Ref.
2850
). Possibly the most commonly captured liparid below 200 m; captured frequently by fishers (Ref.
26773
). Known to feed on polychaete worms, small crustaceans, tiny clams and other invertebrates (Ref.
4525
).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 0.4 - 5.2, mean 3.2 °C (based on 67 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00468 (0.00280 - 0.00782), b=3.23 (3.08 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 3.4 ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
