Etymology: Trematomus: Greek, trematos = hole + Greek, tomo = section, cut (Ref. 45335 ) ;   bernacchii: Species name bernacchii honors Louis Bernarcchi, an Australian physicist-meteorologist; specimen collected on the Southern Cross Expedition and served on Scott's 1901 expedition (Ref. 45168 ) .
More on author: Boulenger .

Issue
The genus Pseudotrematomus is a synonym of Trematomus , which is confirmed by a molecular study to be published (J.-C. Hureau, pers. comm. 08 Jun. 2010).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 4 - 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 34-39; Anal soft rays : 31 - 35. Body brownish, large dark spots in two or three series on body. Spinous dorsal blackish in upper part (Ref. 11892 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in seafloors, well adapted to extremely low and stable temperatures (-1.86°C), annual mean temperature of McMurdo Sound) (Ref. 45168 ). Feed on polychaetes, gastropods, isopods, amphipods and few algae. Spawn once a year (Ref. 1071 ). Utilized for human consumption.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Although members of this Family are known to tend to egg masses, it is assumed that because of the high fecundity, this species is a non-guarder (RF), to be corrected if direct information becomes available.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): -1.8 - -0.8, mean -1.7 °C (based on 2076 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00280 - 0.01029), b=3.24 (3.07 - 3.41), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies. Generation time: 5.9 (2.0 - 12.2) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 11 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.19-0.91; tm=3-6; tmax=10; Fec=1,200-3,123). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (53 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   High . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 31.4 [18.6, 70.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.456 [0.206, 0.860] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [16.3, 18.4] %; Omega3 = 0.417 [0.228, 0.727] g/100g; Selenium = 15.4 [6.7, 32.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.6 [3.5, 70.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.515 [0.356, 0.761] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
