Kurzbeschreibung Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 117; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 105 - 106. Color of fresh holotype: Pale pink, with a silver to golden stripe all along middle body, and a more silvery area a the preopercular region, behind and under the eye. The dorsal portion of the head (snout and nape) and of the body was slightly darker. Belly pigmentation whitish. The margins of the dorsal and anal fins were edged in white; blackish subterminal stripe, darker at the rear of the fins. Black pupil and iris reddish to silvery, with a black blotch at the dorsal portion (Ref. 34017).

Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.6 - 27, mean 19.5 °C (based on 25 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Preiskategorie (Ref. 80766): Medium.
