Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8. This species can be diagnosed from all congeners by the combination of the following characters: lateral line incomplete, with 3-4 pored scales; 25-26+1 scales in the lateral series, ½5/1/3-3½ scales in transverse line on body; 9 pre-dorsal scales; last unbranched dorsal-fin ray slender, serrated, with 19-22 serrae on posterior margin; barbels absent; a black band around the caudal peduncle covering scales 23-25 of the lateral series; a black blotch beneath the origin of the dorsal fin and a black spot above the origin of the anal fin (Ref. 94011).

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=0.01096 (0.00516 - 0.02330), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.2 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).
