Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Vertebre: 137 - 142. This moderately large species of moray is distinguished by the following characters: color pattern irregular, complex, rosette-like pale spots on a brown background, the spots becoming smaller on head; intermaxillary teeth in one peripheral and one median row; 1-2 rows of maxillary teeth, the inner one, when present, has two depressible teeth; mandibular teeth in one row; vertebrae 6-7, 52-55, 137-142 (Ref. 74922).

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=0.00047 (0.00025 - 0.00089), b=3.28 (3.13 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).
