A pair of large pores in interorbital space, one on each side close to the edge of the orbit; a small median pore posteriorly in interorbital space. Tubular anterior nostril when laid back slightly more than half distance to posterior nostril; when projecting forward, about 1/4 distance from edge of snout to edge of orbit, just reaching groove at base of upper lip. Second lateral line not fully developed. Longitudinal scale series 42-46.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.5 - 28, mean 27.2 °C (based on 232 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00451 - 0.02922), b=3.06 (2.84 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 145 [75, 300] mg/100g; Iron = 0.971 [0.505, 1.731] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.2, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.19 [0.11, 0.33] g/100g; Selenium = 29.9 [15.6, 58.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 134 [43, 457] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.16 [1.41, 3.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
