Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 9 - 11. Differs from congeners in Anatolia and the northern Levant by the combination of the following characters: lateral line complete, reaching to caudal-fin base; 74-85 + 3-4 scales in lateral line; lateral line slanted upwards to lateral midline at vertical of posterior anal-fin base or anterior caudal peduncle; 12-14 short gill rakers; 8-10 scales between lateral line and pelvic-fin origin; last simple dorsal-fin ray flexible; upper lip projecting beyond tip of lower lip; pelvic fins short, no reaching to anus, pelvic axillary lobe present; prominent epidermal black stripe from eye to caudal-fin base; head and snout pointed (Ref. 83422).

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=0.00562 (0.00317 - 0.00998), b=3.06 (2.91 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 5.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
