Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 43 - 52; Anal soft rays: 35 - 45. Distinguished by the following characteristics: total elements in dorsal fin 43-52; total anal-fin elements 35-45, first element spinous or segmented; pectoral-fin rays 16-20; anal-fin pterygiophores preceding the first hemal spine (AP) 3-5; pelvic-fin length (PEL)/HL 0.463-0.750 ; scales absent from anteriormost 30% of head and body, scales extending posteriorly from the vertical with 3rd or 4th dorsal-fin spine; 10-23 teeth in outer row of upper jaw; 14-25 teeth in outer row of lower jaw; jaws terminating posteriorly at a vertical with posterior naris; anterior nares slightly closer together than posterior nares (Ref. 50587).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 28.9, mean 27.8 °C (based on 366 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
