Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 10; Vertebre: 44 - 46. The location of the dorsal fin base distinctly anterior to the vertical through the anal fin origin distinguishes this species from all ctenoluciids except B. lucius and B. cuvieri. From B. lucius it can be distinguished by the discrete black spot on the basal portions of the caudal fin rays. From B. cuvieri it can be distinguished on the basis of scale counts.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5391   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00229 - 0.02188), b=3.06 (2.81 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100). 🛈
