Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 9 - 11; Vertebrae: 29 - 30. This species differs from all other members of the Anablepsoides ornatus group by having the caudal fin in males with similar coloration on its dorsal and ventral portions
(vs. always distinct coloration) and the presence of a longitudinal row of dark red dots on the ventral portion of the flank in males (vs. absence of longitudinal row of dark red dots) (Ref. 94717).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00368 - 0.02159), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
