Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 5 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10 - 13; Vertebrae: 43 - 45. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: posterior end of maxilla not slanted downward; midlateral scales with an indented posterior margin; posterior margin of anterior predorsal scales with a spatular outgrowth; posterior margin of axillary scale without a distinct projection; midlateral band somewhat wide and its lower margin reaching to or below the ventral end of the midlateral (third) scale row at the level of anal-fin origin (width of midlateral band 24-32 % of body depth and 62-83 % of caudal peduncle depth); interorbital width somewhat wide 35-43 % HL (Ref. 92894).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24 - 25.9, mean 24.9 °C (based on 10 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00244 - 0.01296), b=3.11 (2.91 - 3.31), 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
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
