Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Diagnosed from Lates calcarifer by having 7 scales between the base of the third dorsal-fin spine and the lateral line (vs. 6) and a lesser eye diameter 4.4?4.7% SL (vs. 4.8?6.9% SL). Can be distinguished from Lates lakdiva by having the following characters: greater body depth 28.4?34.5% SL (vs. 26.6?27.6% SL); longer dorsal-fin base 43.3?45.0% SL (vs. 41.1?43.2% SL); lesser eye diameter 4.4?4.7% SL (vs. 5.5?5.6% SL); and 7 rows of scales between the base of the third dorsal-fin spine and the lateral line (vs. 5). Can be separated from Lates japonicus by having the third anal-fin spine shorter (vs. longer) than the second, a shorter caudal peduncle (15.8?17.6 % SL, vs. 18.2?20.2% SL) and a greater preanal distance (72.9?75.6% SL, vs. 67.5?72.3% SL) (Ref. 90099).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5006   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00491 - 0.02235), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.7 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 to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).
