Terminal phase individuals lack the crescent marking on the caudal fin margin and the turquoise area adjacent to the pectoral fin, as well as the pale-yellow area on the pectoral-fin axil. A pale spot on the upper part of the caudal peduncle, both IP and TP live individuals. Reddish dorsal, caudal, anal and pelvic fins in IP (Ref. 40827).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 27.6, mean 27.3 °C (based on 58 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00726 - 0.02086), b=3.12 (2.97 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 5.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 50.6 [30.2, 95.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.691 [0.377, 1.153] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.0, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.108 [0.064, 0.173] g/100g; Selenium = 33.4 [19.3, 61.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 56.3 [17.4, 182.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.71 [1.19, 2.71] mg/100g (wet weight);
