Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: pectoral fin rays unbranched; nasal capsule flushed with the dorsal surface of the snout and a posterior nasal opening in the form of a simple pore without a raised rim; 3 cycloid scales in the posterodorsal part of the cheek; cycloid scales in the midline and sides of the nape; colour pattern of fresh specimen - with an anterior yellow and posterior red half of the body, no dark spot or blotch over the hypural region, and with 4 small white spots on the dorsal and ventral midlines of the caudal peduncle (Ref. 94948).

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=0.01023 (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. 93245).

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).
