Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 61; Vertebre: 42. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D 61, A 53, pectoral-fin rays on ocular side 8, caudal-fin rays 14; lateral-line scales on ocular side 74 while lateral line on blind side incomplete, with 14 scales; gill rakers on ocular side 2 + 4; vertebrae, abdominal 11 and caudal 31; a pair of large ocelli present on posterior body on ocular side; pectoral fin pale, with a distal black blotch (Ref. 122002).

A specimen was collected in the coral-reef lagoon of a fringing reef at a depth of less than 1 m (0-1 m), on coral gravel with scattered corals (Ref. 122002).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

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