Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Redescribed and found different from its congeners by the following characters: gold sheen or yellowish silver color when fresh (vs. steel-blue with metallic sheen); posterior margin of maxilla reaching or extending beyond a vertical through hind eye margin (vs. not extending); pectoral fin slightly longer than snout (vs. slightly shorter than snout); tip of pectoral fin clearly extending beyond dorsal outline when vertically orientated (vs. not reaching dorsal outline); gill rakers absent or reduced to stiff ossified structures (vs. well developed, spinelike); first anal fin spine situated below the 40th-43rd dorsal fin ray (vs. below 35th-39th in L. pantului and 35th-40th in L. savala; precaudal vertebrae 42-43 (vs. 35-39 in pantului and 36-40 in savala); larger sizes attained 882-1200 mm TL (vs. less than 800 mm TL) (Ref. 58329).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00191 (0.00078 - 0.00466), 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):  4.2   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (64 of 100).
