Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 16 - 17; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 6; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 7; Vertebre: 30. Short pectoral fin length, 17.1-17.9 % of SL (Ref. 47366). Scales: 39-40 lateral line scales, 4-5 tubed scales in the upper part of the lateral line (Ref. 47366).
Habitat characterized by a steeply dropping and craggy rock cliff with terrace-like flats covered by deposits of sand and detritus and with many horizontal and vertical, narrow cracks; compressed body and short pectorals indicate a life in narrow, vertical cracks (Ref. 47366).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [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): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
