Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 10. This species is distinguished by the following characters: 8-9 transverse suborbital row c (3-4 of them are below suborbital row b); sensory papillae of longitudinal suborbital row b is long, starting from posterior edge of pupil and reaching to posterior edge of preopercle; proliferated
suborbital row a; naked nape and breast; the single anterior oculoscapular head canal
ends at the anterior edge of the eyes; absence of ? pore in all specimens; 32=37 reduced scales in lateral series (Ref. 117533).
Specimens collected from sandy-muddy bottom (Ref. 117533).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00286 - 0.01601), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±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.
