Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 5; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: body dark bluish grey dorsally and the sides are blue; head length 20.5-21.6% SL; head width 13-13.5% SL; pre-first dorsal fin length 50% SL; eye diameter 4.6-5.2% SL; postorbital length 10.7-11.1% SL; unbranched pyloric caeca are 2 short and 4 long; a pair of long (one longer than the other), spine-like neural postzygapophyse on the second vertebra. Further distinguished by having adipose eyelid not thick, not extending onto iris; upper lip very deep; corner of mouth cleft not reaching to below front nostril; body elongated and spindle-shaped; 2 dorsal fins small and widely separated (D1 IV, D2 I,8); head flattened (Ref. 119354).

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=0.00513 (0.00211 - 0.01248), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (53 of 100).
