Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 11; Vertebre: 28. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D XI,11; A III, 11; P ii17; lateral-line complete, 38-44 tubed scales; scales above lateral line 2-4; scales not extending onto bases of dorsal and anal fins; scales on forehead extending anteriorly beyond or nearly to level of anterior nostrils. Colouration: multiple orange-red bars of pigment on a whitish background may be seen on the dorsal portion of the trunk; red (adults) or black (juveniles) circular blotch on the dorsal portion of caudal-fin base (Ref. 128563).
Cross section: compressed.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 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). 🛈
