Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 37 - 43; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 35 - 41; Vertebrae: 32. Pectoral -fin rays free and silk-like. Dorsal and anal fins with chocolate-brown distal margins. Top of skull bony, adductor mandibulae complex not originating from frontal bone as in congeners. Epineurals present from 1st precaudal vertebrae to 10th caudal vertebrae. Pelvic fin long when compared with O. rebecca. Cycloid scales embedded on head and body. Eyes rudimentary but distinct, covered by skin. Several short barbels may be present on underside of chin (Ref. 45323).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.4 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).
