Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from all other congeners except A. nigripinnis by having a wide infraorbital bar, its dorsal portion approximately so wide as orbital diameter (vs. distinctly narrower than orbit); differs from A. nigripinnis in having dorsal-fin origin posterior to anal-fin origin (vs. anterior) and a wide, nearly triangular basihyal, its width
ca. 50 % basihyal length (vs. nearly rectangular, width ca. 35 % basihyal length) (Ref. 57613).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±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).
