Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 23 - 26; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17; Vertebre: 24. Body, excluding cheeks, with small, well-defined cream spots on dark background, concentrated in the anterodorsal field; spotting relatively sparse, usually lacking on median fins. Body and head, excluding lips with embedded scales; posterior limb of maxillary scaled. Dorsal spines 2 (rarely 3). Lower jaw only slightly projecting, sometimes with fleshy protuberance. In > 6.5 cm SL specimens, there are numerous, small pores in patches along the ventral surface of lower jaw; those along margin of preopercle confined to patches (Ref. 40934).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.1 - 29.1, mean 28 °C (based on 63 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.00671 - 0.04504), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
