Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 25 - 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: predorsal scales 6; first dorsal fin without elongate and filamentous spine; fifth pelvic-fin ray unbranched, the basal membrane reduced; interorbital groove is shallow; interorbital space wide and bony width 75-77% of pupil diameter; absence of opercle scales; when fresh scale pockets with deep orange margins; when alive, 8 yellowish orange saddles over the dorsal midline and 6 saddles on the ventral midline (Ref. 91085).

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=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), 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).
