Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 75; Anal soft rays: 57 - 58; Vertebrae: 37. Diagnosis: Dorsal rays 75; anal rays 57-58. Lateral-line scales of ocular side 68-70. Vertebrae 10 + 27. Dorsal pterygiophores anterior to fourth neural spine 12. Body depth 2.25-2.35 in SL; head length 3.75-3.8 in SL. Snout not overlapping lower lip. Tubular anterior nostril just reaching edge of eye when depressed posteriorly. Ventral edge of head with about 40 cirri, none broad and lappet-like. Caudal peduncle absent (if measured from base of lowermost caudal ray to a vertical at base of last anal ray); depth at base of caudal fin 1.8-1.9 in HL; caudal fin rounded, 4.45-4.65 in SL. Ocular side of body light brown, with scattered small black blotches, the most prominent two on lateral line half way between head and base of caudal fm; many scales near-white, providing an irregular mottled pattern (Ref. 56490).

Found in outer reef flats (Ref. 56490).

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=0.00977 (0.00473 - 0.02021), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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