Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. U-shaped premaxilla groove entirely without scales, even in large specimens. Posterior margin of maxilla usually not beyond a vertical through anterior margin of inner dermal eye opening (rarely just short of vertical). Scales between 5th dorsal fin spine base 3.5. Body often with 6-8 irregular, dusky, oblique and vertical bands dorsolaterally and ventrolaterally (apparent in juveniles and often observed in large specimens). Pelvic fin vivid or dull yellow with a strong black band and clear white distal margin posteriorly when fresh. Supraneural bones 3 (Ref. 35850).

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=0.01585 (0.00969 - 0.02592), b=3.06 (2.93 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 66.8 [31.9, 137.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.421 [0.194, 0.894] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.1, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.446 [0.204, 0.916] g/100g; Selenium = 9.76 [4.66, 21.71] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.4 [2.0, 43.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.632 [0.404, 0.982] mg/100g (wet weight);
