Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Last simple dorsal ray bony and serrated behind. Middle side of body with 4 round or oval black spots; anterior base of dorsal and sometimes anal with a small dark spot. Specimens > 6 cm SL with simple pelvic ray longer than adjacent branched ray, thus forming a filament. In young specimens, end of first anal ray with a black spot (Ref. 13274).
