Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal soft rays: 112 - 145. Distinguished from other species of the genus by having the following combination of characters: boldly contrasting color pattern of irregular, dark blotches on the back and sides followed by posteriorly by a long pallid area extending far onto the caudal peduncle; pectoral and anal fins translucent; anal-fin rays 112-154 with mean 133.2; vertebral count to base of last anal-fin ray 52-57 with mean 54.5; a relatively deep body, 21-33% of distance to origin of dorsal filament; body depth below origin of dorsal filament less than or equal to postorbital distance (Ref. 78211).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00145 - 0.00871), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
