Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 19 - 20; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 8; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 17; Vertebre: 31 - 33. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: presence of orbital cirrus; scaled belly; pale trunk (pale red in life), no distinct bars or other markings; when alive, lips peppered with white spots and lacrimal region with a row of small white spots; in preserved specimens, jaws usually with lightly scattered melanophores, without distinct banding or dark bars; scattered melanophores on entire gular region; total dorsal elements usually 27; total vertebrae usually 32; dorsal spines + anal soft rays + vertebrae modally 75 (Ref. 86414).

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=0.00490 (0.00196 - 0.01224), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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