Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.7 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 74403)
Dorsal spines (total): 17 - 19; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 8 - 10; Anal soft rays: 7 - 9. This species differs from C. spilurus and C. cutteri in having the secondary pored scales on caudal fin not forming rows (vs. forming rows); the rostral end of maxilla is convex (vs. notched or concave); first neural spine slanting rostrad instead of caudad; with 3 (vs. 2) dorsal elements between first two epineural spines; a spinous anterodorsal process on first dorsal pterygiophore present (vs. absent) (Ref. 74403).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03020 (0.01346 - 0.06774), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.6 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).
