Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 11; Vertebrae: 31. Distinguished from its congeners, except Phallotorynus jucundus, by having a color pattern consisting of six to nine dark brown round spots along lower half of flanks and by having densely pigmented dorsal fin. Differs from P. jucundus by having 8 dorsal-fin rays (vs. 9or 10), 11 anal-fin rays in females (vs. 10), by the absence of a dark ring around the anus in females and by the presence of a dark brown band on lower jaw (Ref. 56059).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00456 - 0.02295), b=3.13 (2.95 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±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).
