Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13. This species is distinguished by the following characters: 3½ scale rows above lateral line to base of middle dorsal-fin spines; spineless at anterior end of nasal bones of adults or subadults; 28 lateral-line scales; D XII,13; last two dorsal-fin spines subequal; pectoral-fin rays 15; height of second suborbital bone below center of eye about 1/3 of eye diameter; median prepelvic scales 14; gill rakers 7 + 13; snout length 4.85-5.0 in HL; anterior ends of palatine tooth patches reach level of center of vomerine tooth patch; dorsal profile of head nearly straight, becoming slightly convex on nape; depth of body 2.2 in SL; head length 2.1-2.3 in SL; least depth of caudal peduncle 4.59-4.85 in HL; colour when fresh is light red, each scale on body with a silvery white dash, forming longitudinal white broken lines (Ref. 114923).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00680 - 0.04650), b=3.02 (2.79 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±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.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
