Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 5 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 9; Anal soft rays: 6 - 9; Vertebrae: 22 - 25. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: body without spiny tubercles or fleshy papillae (weak if present); anterior three mandibular pores each with a barbel-like tube; interorbital and suborbital pores are usually present; opercular flap rounded; ventral disk with many papillae; caudal-fin is relatively short, 19.5-31.4% of SL (Ref. 115553).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00774 - 0.05639), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±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.
