Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 45 - 52. Head large and little depressed. Pectoral fin tips usually reaching the origin of anal fin in small but not in large individuals. Scales easily shed. Color usually blackish on back, steel gray to blackish on belly; caudal fin white-edged.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.3 - 19.8, mean 14.2 (based on 93 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00237 - 0.00803), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.63 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (K=0.39(?); assuming tm>=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): High vulnerability (58 of 100).
