Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos anales: 6 - 7; Vértebra: 27. This species can be distinguished by the following set of characters: D1 VII, without notably elongate spines, spines 2-4 nearly equal; D2 I,8; A I,6-7; P 17-18; pelvic fins well separated with 5th ray ca. 1/4-1/5 length of 4th, rays 1-4 unbranched or slightly branched near end of ray with tips of branches joining as flattened fleshy tips, 4th pelvic-fin ray very long, extending to base of anal-fin rays 3 or 4; 23-34 lateral scales on the side of the body extending anteriorly to beneath pectoral fin; 2 modified basicaudal scales present; single anal-fin pterygiophore inserted anterior to haemal arch; D1 fin with scattered prominent black spots bordered with yellow in life, two prominent small black spots on first dorsal-fin spine (Ref. 113825).

Collected from oolite sedimentary rock. Also found in sand habitats with rubble, gravel and shells (Ref. 113825).

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=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
