Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 24. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XI,14; A III, 8; pectoral-fin rays 17; rounded caudal-fin; lateral-line scales 60-67; lateral-scale series 101-116; gill rakers 9-10 + 16-19 = 25-28; midlateral part of the lower jaw with 2 rows of teeth; vomer v-shaped, each arm with 2-3 rows of villiform teeth; palatines narrow, with 2-4 rows of villiform teeth; angle of the preopercle broadly rounded, with 4-9 small non-prominent serrae; body depth 3.0-3.4 in SL; fourth dorsal-fin spine the longest, 3.3-4.0 in HL. Colouration: broad dark brown margins to the soft dorsal, anal and caudal fins; dark spots on the head, body, or fins absent at any known size, and in subadults two faint pale brown bars radiating from the eye to the edge of the opercle; diffuse irregular brown wavy bars and blotches on the sides of the body (Ref. 121030).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00568 - 0.02430), b=3.04 (2.88 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).
