Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. Slender body. Elongate, slightly compressed between second dorsal and anal fins, and caudal peduncle, becoming slightly cylindrical, and then slightly depressed anterior to first dorsal fin. Pectoral fins orange to red, dorsal and caudal fins orange to red with black rays, a black band on upper edge of caudal fin. Posterior part of body yellowish to reddish (Ref. 57051).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).
