Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 15 - 17; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 12; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on body; supra-pectoral spot about the same size as supra-anal spot; 2 vertical bars between supra-pectoral spot and opercle; no black submarginal band in dorsal fin; males in breeding coloration with black anal fin lacking colored marginal band and white to blue colored blaze on head (Ref. 57549).

Territorial males are found at depths of 11-23 m and build bowers by excavating sand from beneath rocks; females and non-territorial males feed in the open water column 1-3 m above the bottom and on benthic invertebrates; mouth-brooding females occur solitarily and stay close to the substrate (Ref. 57549).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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