Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species is distinguished from its congeners (asellus, psittacus) by the following characters: basal pterygiophores 6-7 and anal-fin rays 9 (vs. 10-11 for both its congeners); basal pterygiophores and dorsal-fin rays 10 (vs. 11); an opercle with a posterior ventral border subdivided in a ventral and a posterior region, the herein called ‘‘inverted V’’ shape (vs. triangular opercle); differs from C. asellus by the absence of dermal flaps across the chin (vs. uniquely present in C. asellus); caudal peduncle with 8 vertebrae (Ref. 122317).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [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):  3.1   ±0.5 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).
