Etymology: Pseudecheneis: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, echein = to hold + Greek, nays = ship; remora, suckling fish; 1774 (Ref. 45335); longipectoralis: Derived from the Latin adjectives long (long) and pectoralis (pectoral fin), in reference to pectoral fin longer and extending to pelvic fin base.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal soft rays: 10 - 11; Vertebrae: 35. Differs from Pseudecheneis sulcata in possessing longer pelvic fin, reaching base of first anal fin ray (vs. not reaching); and from Pseudecheneis crassicauda in having longer pectoral fin, reaching origin of pelvic fin (vs. not reaching); from Pseudecheneis serracula in having shorter adipose fin base (length of adipose fin base 125-166.7% in length of anal fin base vs. larger than 200%); and from Pseudecheneis sympelvica in having separate pelvic fins (vs. fused). Can be differentiated from other congeners except Pseudecheneis immaculatus in having longer pectoral fin (28.7-38.1% SL vs. 24.5-35.9), extending to pelvic fin (vs. not extending); and differs from P. immaculatus in having yellow spots or patches on the body (vs. lacking ) (Ref. 74729).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00264 - 0.01315), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
