Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 12; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 12 - 13; Vertebrae: 25 - 26. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D XIII,11 (rarely 10 or 12); A II,12 (rarely 13); pectoral-fin rays 15 (14-16); gill rakers on first branchial arch 9-11+20-22 = 29-32; tubed lateral-line scales 13-16 (usually 14-15); preorbital and suborbital scales usually absent, occasionally 1-3 embedded scales present; color of adult generally grayish brown to greenish (sometimes with neon blue/green transverse streak on each scale) with translucent to pale greenish fins, except bright yellow ventrally on head, body, and adjacent anal and pelvic fins, a broad yellow band present from base of first few dorsal-fin spines to outer edge of last dorsal-fin spine; color of juvenile neon blue on head, most of body (above diagonal line from pelvic-fin base to base of uppermost caudal-fin ray), and dorsal fin, remainder of body and adjacent fins are bright yellow (Ref. 116668).

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=0.02344 (0.01149 - 0.04783), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±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).
