Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 5 - 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 17; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 24 - 26. This species is distinguished by the following combination of characters: D IV-VI + I, 14-17; A I,24-26 (usually 24); pectoral rays 14-15 (usually 14); lateral scales 36-37 (usually 37), transverse scales 9-10; predorsal scales 16-18 ( usually 17); circumpeduncular scales 13; total gill rakers on first arch 16-17 (usually 16); total scales covering preoperculum 13-19 (adults with 16-19); adult with 2 separate patches of vomerine teeth; origin of 1st dorsal fin about level with anal-fin origin; greatest body depth of adult male 2.8-3.0 in SL. Colour in life generally olive green to yellowish with faint orange stripe between each horizontal scale row; mid-lateral dark stripe often present, broader and more prominent on posterior half of body; dorsal and anal fins with dark submarginal stripe and pale outer margin; dorsal and ventral margins of caudal fin narrowly blackish (Ref. 119199).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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