Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: interorbital broad, with a slight depression between eyes; predorsal scales covered with ctenoid scales to above mideye, and a small naked patch immediately before first dorsal fin; scales absent immediately behind eye before transverse postocular papilla row; prepelvic area partly scaled immediately before pelvic origin, in 2-8 rows; usually no opercular scales, but rarely 1-5 small scales dorsally; no scales on; usually D2 I,10, A I,8, pectoral rays 19; transverse pattern of sensory papilla rows on cheek; pelvic fins connected to form a plate, but no interspinal membrane, the fifth ray with multiple branches, length about 75-80% of length of fourth ray; head and body brown with a distinct large black blotch at anterior base of first dorsal fin, and in life, head and body with very thin blue bands; no bands dorsally on caudal fin; mouth very oblique, jaws form an angle for 55°-60° with body axis (Ref. 85603).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.2 - 28.2, mean 27.1 °C (based on 298 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
