Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 24. Horadandia brittani can be diagnosed from its congener H. atukorali by the combination of the following characters: deeper body (depth 27.7-31.9 % SL, vs. 24.6-29.8); dorsal profile of head approximately straight (vs. concave) behind level of eye; lesser eye diameter (27-37 % HL, vs. 37-41); origin of dorsal fin distinctly behind (vs. slightly posterior to) origin of pelvic fin; pelvic fin just reaching (vs. reaching beyond) origin of anal fin; origin of dorsal fin located closer to hypural notch than to snout tip (vs. dorsal-fin origin located halfway between snout tip and hypural notch); a lateral process on side of kinethmoid absent (vs. present); palatine process of maxilla obtuse (vs. acute); and supraorbital length ~44 % eye diameter (vs. ~50 %) (Ref. 94541).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00376 - 0.01926), b=3.07 (2.87 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 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).
