Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 96 - 97; Raggi anali molli: 80 - 81; Vertebre: 51. This species is distinguished from its congeners by these characters: a 1-3-4 pattern of interdigitation of dorsal-fin pterygiophores and neural spines; caudal-fin rays 12; presence of an ocellated spot on the caudal fin in both sexes; total vertebrae 51, dorsal-fin rays 96-97, anal-fin rays 80-81; longitudinal scale rows 85-86; a pupillary operculum; non-pigmented peritoneum, uniformly pigmented blind side, and ocular-side background coloration without prominent dark spots or conspicuous crossbands (Ref. 75618).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.9 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 74 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00507 - 0.02267), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 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).
