Краткое описание
определительные ключи | морфология | морфометрия
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 0; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 72 - 84; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 62 - 70. Body and fins darkly marbled and with irregular white blotches. Head rectangular dorsally; snout small; eyes dorsally located. Frontal fontanelle intermediate between `sole-shaped' and `knife-shaped'; occipital fontanelle very small. Supraorbital and `dermosphenotic' bones joined in specimens above 57.6 mm SL. Gill rakers relatively long, slender and distantly set. Degree of development of the suprabranchial organ variable, generally greatly reduced. Openings of the secondary sensory canals hardly visible.
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Nothing is known about the ecology and reproduction of this species (Ref. 78218).

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=0.00794 (0.00357 - 0.01766), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
устойчивость к внешним воздействиям (Ref.
120179): высокий, минимальное время удвоения популяции до 15 месяцев (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
