Breeding males with red lower side and pectoral and anal-fin bases (Ref. 86798).

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.0 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Muito baixo, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população maior que 14 anos (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
