Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4 - 5; Dorsal soft rays (total): 19 - 20; Anal soft rays: 24 - 25; Vertebrae: 33. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D IV-V,19-20; A 24-25; pectoral-fin rays 19; V I,5; 33 vertebrae including the hypural; 9-10 gill rakers on the lower limb of first arch; elongated spinous dorsal-fin, the first spine reaching to middle of second dorsal fin or somewhat beyond; non-elongated soft dorsal or anal fin rays; about 30-32 tubed lateral-line scales; slightly crenulated or incised above and below lateral-line tube; at the anterior end of each maxilla is a short, obtuse spine, scarcely or not protruding through skin; tip of upper jaw without barbel; small patch of teeth laterally at the tip of vomer, separated mesially by a large gap; no palatine teeth (Ref. 95663).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
