Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. Differs from other congeners by the following unique combination of features: presence of 1 bar; presence of distinct black mark just anterior to anus, laterally and ventrally visible when viewed; simple dorsal-fin rays black in color, black pigment patch in some specimens reaching the first branched rays, other rays hyaline or in some specimens with diffused chromatophores on last dorsal-fin ray; last simple dorsal-fin ray with 25-31 serrae; presence of a faint black margrin along uppermost pectoral-fin ray; bar 5 equal to 1-1½ lateral row scales in width; mouth terminal, lower jaw wide, anteriorly rounded (Ref. 78741).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00633 - 0.03455), b=3.02 (2.82 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
