Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Can be distinguished by a combination of the posterior location of the anal fin origin, under dorsal-fin rays 8-11, a moderately high number of dorsal fin rays (18-21) with low numbers of vertebrae (38-40) and predorsal scales (35-43) (Ref. 26761).
Females bear live young (Ref. 58777).
