Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 10; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10; Vertebre: 32. Distinguished by the following autapomorphies: first proximal radial of dorsal fin of adult females located between arches neural of 14th and 15th vertebrae; wide and short trowel-like appendix of gonopodium at tip of R3; lateral border of left and right halves of trowel-like appendix of gonopodium concave; left and right halves of trowel-like appendix separated along approximately five-sixths of its whole extension; two round to elliptical dark blotches along ventral half of flanks; and presence of sexually dimorphic teeth (males teeth pointed with acute border; females teeth truncate, their superior border straight or slightly oblique. Further differs from its congeners by pleural ribs not associated with haemal arches in females; anal-fin proximal radials parallel in females. In addition, the number of epipleural ribs distinguishes Phallotorynus dispilos from P. jucundus and P. victoriae (13-14 vs. 11-12, respectively) (Ref. 56059).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00456 - 0.02295), b=3.13 (2.95 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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).
