Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 13; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 8. Body depth at least 1.1 times in head length; ventral fin length at least 1.7 times in head length; nuchal hump steeply rising at occiput; black, blackish red, dark brown or dark green.
Prefers rocky substrates in waters less than 6 m deep, especially in the shore areas, but it also occurs over muddy and sandy substrates. It has a mixed diet of mainly fish, insects and macrophytes (Ref. 35835).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00422 - 0.02065), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref.
