Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Distinguished from its congeners by a unique combination of characters: two unpaired median pre-dorsal plates, body width 10.0-13.0% of post-dorsal fin length, inter-orbital distance between 10.6-13.0% of post-dorsal fin length, inter-orbital distance between 25.0-29.0% of eye-to-dorsal fin length; low number of jaw teeth (12-15 teeth in upper left jaw, 9-13 in lower left jaw), and pre-dorsal fin body pigmentation not formed into distinct lines between longitudinal rows of odontodes (Ref. 54475).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00374 - 0.01935), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
