Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14. This species is distinguished by the following characters: scales above lateral line to midbase of spinous portion of dorsal fin 2½; D XII, soft rays modally 14, the last two dorsal-fin spines about equal in length or last slightly shorter; space between last dorsal-fin spine and first dorsal-fin ray about half as broad as space between last two dorsal-fin spines; upper procurrent spiniform caudal-fin rays 4, lower rays 3; origin of anal fin beneath spinous portion of dorsal fin; lateral-line scales 28-30 (usually 29); dorsal profile of head straight; pectoral-fin rays 14-16 (modally 15); gill rakers 7-9 + 13-15; depth of body 2.1-2.35 in SL; head relatively short, 2.45-2.6 in SL; snout long, 3.7-4.7 in HL; depth of caudal peduncle 3.8-4.7 in HL; colour when fresh red with a faint whitish longitudinal banding following scale rows (Ref. 114923).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.4 - 21.3, mean 17.7 °C (based on 48 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 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).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Assuming tmax>10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
