Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D X,11; A III, 6; P 14; gill rakers 3 + 11; scales below 1D origin about 5 and below 2D 4+1+8-9; pored lateral line scales 44, circumpeduncular scales 1+9+1+10 (total 21); tubular anterior nostril, the rim is greatly elevated posteriorly and having 7-8 long cirri at tip; cycloid scales except for a hard, sharply spinulated suprascapular scale bone above the upper opening of the gill cover; a weakly emarginate caudal fin, with upper and lower lobes about equal; interradial membrane of soft dorsal and anal fins scaly on basal 1/2 to 1/3; cycloid scales covering the nape, opercle, preopercle, interopercle, mandibualr ramus, pectoral-fin base and chest; presence of a bold, black spot between the last 3 spines and first soft dorsal ray formed above broad black saddle on dorsal half of body (Ref. 118671).

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=0.01096 (0.00518 - 0.02319), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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).
