Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi anali molli: 40 - 42; Vertebre: 47 - 48. This species can be distinguished by the following set of characters: D I,6; A 40-42 (mode 42); P I,12-14 (mode 12); pelvic fin i,6; total vertebrate 47 or 48; GR 13-16 (mode 14) on anterolateral margin of first branchial arch; caudal fin deeply forked, with pointed lobes; reduced and ossified gas bladder; presence of epaxial musculature covering tympanic area; robust, rigid and sharp pectoral spine; upper jaw extending anterior to the lower jaw by a distance less than the horizontal eye diameter. Colouration: body light in color with a dark stripe extending dorsolaterally from origin of dorsal-fin base to caudal-fin base, usually extending to the middle portion of dorsal lobe of caudal fin; dorsal portion behind eyes, frontals and most of the snout is dark; pectoral fin hyaline to completely dark; pelvic fin hyaline or lightly pigmented by scattered melanophores; anal fin hyaline, usually yellowish at base; caudal fin hyaline, generally yellowish at base, sometimes with scattered pigment on base of caudal-fin lobes (Ref. 124585).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00369 - 0.01791), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.6 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 (15 of 100).
