Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 27 - 28. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D VI + I,7; A I,7; posterior longitudinal scales 5-8, restricted to the caudal peduncle; body depth at pelvic-fin origin 16.6-17.9% SL; depth at anal-fin origin 13.3-13.6% SL; with cephalic sensory-canal pores; live colour unknown, but alcohol-preserved specimens have conspicuous dark bands below eye and across opercle, a pair of relatively large black spots at caudal-fin base, and dorsal surface of snout and nape with numerous black spots, streaks, and stellate markings (Ref. 116128).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 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).
