Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 5 - 6; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9; Vertebre: 31 - 33. Distinguished from all its congeners by the following combination of characters: truncate caudal fin; presence of 4 serrae along posterior edge of pectoral spine; slightly concave lateral margins of the head when viewed dorsally; eyes located laterally with a suborbital depression; body depth at anus 8.9-13.5% SL; depth of caudal peduncle 6.1-8.6% SL; length of dorsal-fin base 13.1-22.1% SL; length of adipose-fin base 18.4-25.2% SL; and eye diameter 14-20% HL (Ref. 30226).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
