Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 15; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 16; Vértebra: 29. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: with a rigid upper jaw lacking flexible lamina posteriorly, extending 0.9 eye diameters behind posterior margin of orbit; infraorbitals are moderately robust with large sensory canal openings, the third infraorbital with moderate suborbital shelf; D XI,15; A III,16; vertebrae 10+19; scale rows in horizontal series about 63-64; lateral-line terminus is below segmented dorsal-fin rays 6 or 7. Colouration: caudal fin with a pair of conspicuous oblong, pale, basicaudal spots against dark background; inner lining of upper jaw and adjacent membranes with posterior black blotch that is externally visible; head and body various shades of brown, with darker mid-lateral stripe with irregular margins (Ref. 128653).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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