Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 11; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: rigid maxilla, no flexible lamina posteriorly; head mostly covered with small, irregular-shaped dark spots; D XI,11; total gill rakers 40-41; outermost segmented pelvic-fin ray is tightly bound to adjacent ray, with interradial membrane not incised distally (interradial membrane deeply incised in all other Indo-Pacific species except O. muscatensis Boulenger 1887) (Ref. 93143).

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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