Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 12. This species is distinguished by the following: D IX,12, with the first two dorsal-fin spines short, their length similar to those of other spines of dorsal fin, and eleventh dorsal-fin soft ray longest with depressed tip of last dorsal-fin soft ray reaching vertical through caudal-fin base; A III,12; pectoral-fin rays 12; lateral line interrupted, pored lateral-line scales 19-21 + 5–6; scale rows below lateral line 10 (rarely 9); small scale below eye; vertical small scale rows on cheek 7 and each row narrowly separated from adjacent rows; central gill raker of upper limb of first gill arch with 2 branches; central gill raker of lower limb of first gill arch with single branch; body depth 33.6-41.5% of SL; head length 29.6-32.1% of SL; pre-pectoral-fin length 26.5-29.9% of SL; orbit diameter 5.0-6.8 % of SL; head without blotches and small milky-white blotches on anal-fin base and caudal peduncle (Ref. 127939).
An inshore species in rocky reef and on sandy bottom (Ref. 75154).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
