Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 96 - 102; Anal soft rays: 84 - 92; Vertebrae: 104 - 107. This species is distinguished from its congeners by having the following set of characters: colour pale pink; lateral line configuration ventral and mediolateral, with the latter originating above posterior part of pectoral fin; vertebrae 22-23 + 81-85 = 104-107; pectoral-fin rays 16-17; no scales on abdomen and predorsal area; no pelvic fin (Ref. 75765).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00057 - 0.00252), b=3.10 (2.91 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
