Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17 - 20; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 10 - 12. Poor development of papillae on head; margin of upper lip smooth; dorsal origin much closer to upper pectoral base than to caudal base; anus located much closer to anal fin origin than to rear margin of disc and under 8th dorsal ray; eye 1.2 (1.0-1.4) in bony interorbital space and 5.6 (4.7-7.3) in head; tip of depressed anal fin extends well posterior (about an eye's diameter) to that of the depressed dorsal fin (Ref. 42104).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274)

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=0.00617 (0.00250 - 0.01521), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
