Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 19 - 22; Dorsal soft rays (total): 50 - 57; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 47 - 54; Vertebrae: 74 - 76. Belongs to the member of the Macrognathus aculeatus group but distinguished from all other species of the this group by the following combination of characters: 15-17 rostral tooth plates; 19-22 dorsal-fin spines; and large (eye size) black blotches along dorsal fin. Differs from its other Indian congeners of the Macrognathus aculeatus group as follows: from Macrognathus aral, Macrognathus pentophthalmos and Macrognathus morehensis by the presence of dorsal fin blotches (vs. white rimmed dorsal fin ocelli), from Macrognathus aral and Macrognathus pentophthalmos by having 15-17 rostral tooth plates (vs. 19-27); and also from Macrognathus pentophthalmos and Macrognathus morehensis by having 19-22 dorsal-fin spines (vs. 11-16) and from Macrognathus morehensis by having 15-17 rostral plates (vs. 8-11) (Ref. 83418).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00295 (0.00138 - 0.00633), b=2.94 (2.76 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
