Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 34. The presence of 3 bold concentric bands on posterior part of pectoral fin differentiates this species from all other Sewellia species. Combination of characters unique to the species includes: cavity with deep post-oral skinfold around mouth; absence of dark stripes on body; origin of pelvic fin in front of the origin of dorsal fin; origin of pectoral fin behind corner of mouth; pelvic fin reaching origin of anal fin; branched pelvic-fin rays 8-16 with a row of individual serrae; absence of skin-fold between oropectoral membrane and ventral surface of head; 55 scales on lateral line (Ref. 40433).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00256 - 0.01420), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), 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

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
