Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Single, long and thin postcleithrum, well separate from the cleithrum (indicates loss of upper postcleithrum); basisphenoid reduced and loosely attached to the neurocranium; reduced pterosphenoid excluded from external surface of neurocranium; swimbladder in adults; lower jaw margin with well-developed labial flaps; left and right dentaries sutured together; males with distal tips of dorsal and anal-fin rays expanded and with flaplike structures, with fleshy flap near base of anterior margin of first dorsal-fin spine; in comparison to females, males lack conspicuous banding pattern; unbranched central caudal-fin rays; number of epurals reduced from 2 to 1 (Ref. 94102)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults exhibit conspicuous sexual dimorphism (Ref. 94102). 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).

Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00258 - 0.01228), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 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).
