Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 11 - 12; Vertebrae: 27. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: opercular spine long and cleithral spine very short; lateral-line scales 56-62; gill rakers 2 (+2 rudimentary) on upper limb and 12-13 (+5-6 rudimentary) on lower limb of first gill arch; bucklers 8-10 (1st and last are united) at the base of first dorsal fin; vertebrae 27. Colouration: a large black blotch between the 4th and 6th spines of the 1st dorsal fin; second dorsal fin with one longitudinal row of small dark pigmentations; inner surface of pectoral-fin with black membranes, white posterior margin and three small white spots basally in fin, each ray creamy white (Ref. 131445).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 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).
