Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: D2 I,10; A I,10; pectoral fin rays 18-19; D1 with fourth and/or fifth spines longest in male; interval between first- and second-dorsal-fin bases in male less than 1/3 of the length of the first-dorsal-fin base; cephalic sensory pore D single; preopercular sensory canal with two pores, M’ and O’; enlarged lobes or projections in front of the urogenital papilla of male absent; lateral scales reaching anteriorly beyond the area below the origin of the first dorsal fin; male scales with large, spike-like ctenii laterally on the trunk. Colouratiion of male: with two broad red bands on the posterior part of the body, three black vertical lines on grey or light-blue belly, grey or greyish-brown head without red marking, second dorsal fin being reddish brown proximally and white distally, a black spot at anterior part of second dorsal fin, and anal fin white with obscure reddish-brown base (Ref. 125534).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this 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).
