Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: D XI,11, total rays 22, with the first dorsal-fin spine much shorter than the second, their bases close together; A I,9, total rays 11; head depth 13.7% of SL; eye is moderately low set on head (horizontal line through top of snout bulge level with ventral margin of pupil in 7.77 cm SL specimen); anterior and posterior lacrimal spines are blunt, tips of both spines canted ventrally; pore above pectoral-fin base associated with short, rounded skin flap. Colouration: body entirely pale pink or yellow with narrow dusky stripe centrally,no oblique alternating dark and light stripes; inner surface of pectoral fin largely bright yellow (whitish in preserved specimens) basally with dark stripes along rays, the distal part largely yellow (whitish) when fresh (Ref. 128010).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00427 - 0.02816), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.7 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).
