Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Raggi anali molli: 6. This species is distinguished from its closely related congeners G. amirhosseini, G. mondica, G. persica. G. rufa in having a shallow mental disc completely fused with the chin (vs. mental disc fully developed and structured), tubercles on the head absent (vs. present) and a naked breast and belly (vs. belly covered by scales, breast naked or covered by scales) (Ref. 128956).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
