Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by having the following characters: well developed transverse pattern of sensory-papillae rows on cheek; papillae in anterior transverse interorbital row (ATI) 4 and papillae in posterior transverse interorbital row (PTI) 12; lateral line scales 28-29 ; predorsal scales 14-15; ctenoid scales 3 on upper part of opercle and long and slender gill-rakers on outer first arch without denticles on inner rim; pelvic fins with a vestigial membrane, no frenum; body pinkish (like a cherry blossom); vertical fins red; dark bands on body 6 (Ref. 75864).
Inhabits sandy bottom at depths between about 40 and 100 m (Ref. 75864).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±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.
