Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 20 - 21; Vertebrae: 32 - 33. Can be diagnosed by having the following characters: nine teeth in the dentary; five scales with pores on the lateral; 25-26 scales on lateral line, 3 scales between the lateral line and pelvic fins, 2 scales between the lateral line and the anal fin; and a dark lateral line that fuses with a conspicuous peduncular spot (Ref. 85795).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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