Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 13 - 15. Distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: anal fin with 13½ - 15½ branched rays; first anal-fin ray below branched dorsal rays 6-10 or situated up to one scale after the last dorsal-fin ray; ventral keel exposed for at least 2/3 of the distance between the pelvic fin base and the anal aperture; 17-26 gill rakers; 40-48 scales on lateral line (Ref. 85064).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00314 - 0.01391), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.3 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): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
