Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 17; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 18; Vertebrae: 24. This species is with the following set of characters: D XIII, 17; A III,18; pectoral rays 16; relatively large scales, 43-45 in lateral row from upper end of gill opening to base of caudal fin; 37 lateral line scales, terminating below end of dorsal fin and re-appearing on 7 scales of caudal peduncle; gill rakers on first arch 5 + 12; maximum body depth 1.6 in SL; 3 or 4 preopercular spines; length of primary preopercular spine 2.0 in head length; tricuspid teeth, about 50-60 in outer row in each jaw; exposed margins of preorbital, interopercle, preopercle, subopercle, supracleithrum, and posttemporal bones serrate; posterior margin of preorbital bone attached and hidden by skin and scales; color in life yellow with black upper third of back, dorsal fin, and upper part of head; a broad white bar immediately anterior to dorsal fin origin, extending to at least level of upper opercular margin; white caudal fin and peduncle (Ref. 77035).

Found over bottom that is primarily composed of variably sized rubble, with temperature 20-21°C (Ref. 77035).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.9 - 22.6, mean 18.8 °C (based on 7 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01359 - 0.07026), b=2.89 (2.70 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±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).
