Etymology: kizakura: Named after a variety of the cherry tree with turmeric-colored blossoms, in reference to the scattered bright yellow dots and lines on head and body of this species (Ref75057).
Eponymy: Professor Cornelius Jan van der Horst (1889–1951) was a Dutch zoologist who moved to South Africa (1928) and became Head of the Zoology Department, Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 11. This species is distinguished by the following characters: greatly reduced connecting membrane between innermost pelvic-fin rays, i.e., its height 23.3% of length of fifth pelvic-fin soft ray; 11 segmented rays on second dorsal fin; 33-34 longitudinal scale count; 11 predorsal scales; 11-12 transverse scale count from origin of second dorsal fin backward and downward to anal-fin base; cycloid scales in the pectoral fin base; third spine of first dorsal fin longest, slightly elongate and filamentous; slightly elongated ninth segmented caudal-fin ray, forming a pin-tailed caudal fin; 5 narrow dusky bars on head and body, anterior 4 diagonal rather than vertical; some short diagonal yellow lines on operculum (Ref. 75057).

Inhabits sandy gentle slope below coral-reef drop-off (45 m or more depths), and found to be associated with the alpheid shrimps (Ref. 75057).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00355 - 0.02566), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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).
