Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished by the following characters: 59-61 rows of cycloid scales along the body, predorsal scales 20-21, reaching ca. A total of 3/4 of the distance to eye and 19-21 transverse rows; scales covering the abdomen and prepelvic region, none on pectoral-fin base; D1 VI, D2 I, 10-11, rays segmented (last one branched); A I,9-10 segmented rays (last one branched); pectoral-fin rays 15; pelvic fins are completely united with a well-developed fraenum; caudal-fin rays with 17 segmented rays, 13 branched; gill rakers on first gill arch, 10-11, upper limb with one at the angle, and 7-8 onlower limb, the three posterior rakers are very short; head sensory papillae in transverse pattern (Ref. 126572).

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=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.3 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 (10 of 100).
