Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 7. This moderately slender-bodied species is distinguished by the following characters: slightly convex dorsal head profile; A II + 7; pectoral-fin rays 14-16, pectoral length 27.1-30.9% SL, reaching anterior edge of anal fin; gill rakers 19-25; pseudobranchial filaments 16-26; first anal-fin pterygiophore long and straight, slender with rather sharp tip and not hollow; palatines and ectopterygoids narrow, usually with 1 row (rarely 2) of denticles; orbital diameter 10.1-12.2% SL; posterior edge of maxillary plate straight; no longitudinal ridges on the preopercular lobe; otolith moderately elongate (OL:OH = 1.5-1.7) (Ref. 116586).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00436 - 0.02192), b=3.01 (2.81 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
