Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 12-13; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17; Vertebre: 42 - 43. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: dorsal and anal fins with three unbranched rays; pseudobranchial filaments 19-21 (modally 20); branched pectoral-fin rays 12-13 (13); gill rakers on first gill arch, in upper series 20-22 (22), in lower series 25-27 (27), in total 45-49 (49); gill rakers on second gill arch, upper series15-17 (17), lower series 24-26 (25), total 40-43 (40, 42); gill rakers on third gill arch, upper series 12-16 (14), lower series 13-15 (14), total 26-31 (26, 28); gill rakers on fourth gill arch, upper series 11-13 (12), lower series 11-12 (11), total 22-25 (23); prepelvic scutes 5-6 (5); transverse scales 11; head long, its length 29.1%-29.2% (mean 29.2%) of SL; upper jaw long, its length 20.8%-22.5% (mean 21.2%) of SL, with posterior tip reaching to posterior edge of preopercle; lower jaw long, the length 19.0%-20.7% (mean 19.7%) of SL; the first unbranched dorsal- and anal-fin rays are minute, the length 0.9%-1.5% (mean 1.1%) and 0.9%-1.6% (mean 1.2%) of SL, respectively; distance from dorsal-fin origin to upper end of pectoral-fin insertion is rather long, 97.5%-106.3% of HL (mean 103.9%) (Ref. 128576).

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=0.00537 (0.00253 - 0.01141), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.1 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.
