Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7. Number of transverse rows of scales 8. Predorsal scales 6. Scales on cheek 3 rows and on opercle 3-4 rows. Head depressed. Mouth small and oblique. Maxillae extend to below anterior nostril, which is midway between the snout tip and the eye. Both nostrils in tubes. Many papillated flaps on head. Very close eyes; interorbital space very narrow, about 1/4 of eye diameter, with 2 median pores. Restricted gill opening. Rounded tongue. Pelvic fins without fraenum, united only at their bases with a delicate membrane. Caudal fin shorter than head. Cycloid scales on breast, pre-pelvic, and predorsal regions, opercle and cheek (Ref. 47607).

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=0.01023 (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.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±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.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
