Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 13; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 12 - 13; Vertebrae: 31 - 32. An overall pale grey coloration with dusky fins, with a distinctly spatulate 'duck-billed' snout. It is distinguished from Mogurnda fulva in having a shorter head, narrower interorbital, less steep mouth and a longer caudal fin (Ref. 36923).

Commonly observed around the mouth of the Soro river over beds of matted algae Nitella pseudoflabellata and the eel grass Valisneria natans. Specimens collected with the use of handnets while using SCUBA (Ref. 36923).

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=0.01000 (0.00420 - 0.02379), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 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).
