Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 15. Pale brown with yellow-edged dark brown stripe connecting eyes and continuing from rear edge of eye to upper edge of opercle' large dark brown spot just above pectoral fin and 1-2 smaller spots just above (below first 5 dorsal spines), about 9 dark brown bars or vertically aligned pair of spots on side of body, and bluish abdomen. Fin deeply notched; cirrus present on posterior rim of anterior nostril; last lateral-line tube below 8th or 9th dorsal spines; body depth at anal-fin origin about 4.5-5.8 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.7 - 29.2, mean 28.9 °C (based on 116 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

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).
