Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9; Vertebre: 20. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: dorsal surface of body with spinules from interorbital region to just dorsal, to midpoint between pectoral-fn and dorsal-fin origins; nasal organ has two divided flat skin flaps, almost equal in size. Colouration: dorsal half of body greenish brown with many small white spots; dorsal side of head and body with three crossing dark brown bars, the first on interorbital region, second just dorsal to gill opening, while the third around dorsal-fin base; ventral surface of the body white; iris is light yellow; dorsal, anal and pectoral fins are dusky, while caudal fin is dark brown with several rows of vertical white spots (Ref. 126647).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01199 - 0.05511), b=2.89 (2.71 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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