Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 10 - 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D X,12; A III, 7; gill rakers 5-7 + 10-11, total = 15-18; pseudobranchial filaments about 22; pored lateral line scales 46; circumpeduncular scales 21; scales below D1 origin 4 and below first segmented dorsal ray 3-3.5; truncate caudal fin with upper lobe slightly pointed and the lower somewhat rounded; dorsal, anal and pectoral fins scaly near base; tube-like anterior nostril with rim low anteriorly but rising to a high narrow flap posteriorly, 4-6 long cirri at distal tip; posterior nostril a simple opening lacking a raised rim; a prominent black blotch distally between dorsal fin spines a and 4; body with 5 broad bands and another over nape, with the band under the 5th to 10th spines descending to belly well removed from the pectoral-fin base and to front of anal fin; the band below anterior rays of soft dorsal fin descends to middle of anal-fin base (Ref. 118671).

Found in rocky bottoms (Ref. 118671).

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=0.01096 (0.00514 - 0.02340), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±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).
