Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 26. Most distinctive character: two rows of small black spots across the upper aspect of the eye: 4-6 on the outer row and 2-3 on the medial row (Ref. 93936).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in exposed sandbeds (Ref. 93936), An elusive species for It occupies an obscure habitat:and was collected in deeper water than is usually surveyed, it was far from reef substrate, and the area is subject to some siltation from the Panamanian mainland. The species is also not particularly different-looking from the usual sand-bed gobies that it would not attract attention (Ref. 58754) .Depth at 15 - 20 m (Ref. 58754), range given by B. Victor (pers.comm. 10/18).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 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. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
