Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 15 - 17; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 11 - 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8 - 10. Diagnosis: body oblong (body depth 32.0-46.1% SL); outer teeth on jaws bicuspid and spatulated; micro-gillrakers present; transversal bands on the flanks (Ref. 53405).

Pair-bonding, open substratum spawner, with both parents guarding the brood; seems to breed throughout the year; development time of larvae, from deposition of eggs to free swimming stage, takes about 13 to 14 days (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.00827 - 0.04391), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 2.1 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 1.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (K=0.69).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
