Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 53 - 55; Vertebrae: 52 - 54. Distinguished from all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: gill rakers on the first arch 18-20; branched anal-fin rays 48-50; length of accessory premaxillary tooth patch extending posteriorly nearly to the terminus of the gape; posterior limit of the upper jaw under the orbit; fleshy flap along the anterior margin of the posterior naris barely extending medial of the medial margin of the naris for a distance distinctly less than the transverse length of the posterior naris; pectoral-fin spine length 18.7-21.3% SL: lateral margin of the pectoral spine smooth; and snout in lateral view rounded (Ref. 75095).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00263 - 0.01321), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 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).
