Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 24 - 25. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of character: head 3.2-3.7 in SL; body depth 2.7 in SL; head length 3.2-3.7 in SL; orbit diameter 1.9-2.7 in HL; caudal-peduncle depth 2.7-3.3 in HL; D IV, 8-9; A III, 24-25; pectoral rays 15; lateral-line scales 51-54; scales below the lateral line 10-11; circumpeduncular scales 11-12; gill rakers 23-25. Colour when alive mostly silvery, darker from mid-body to the lateral line and greenish above; fins translucent with a darker tail; when preserved light brown to silvery with darker dorsum and translucent fins; caudal fin darker. Further, mitochondrial DNA COI sequences show a divergence of at least 4% from all Atlantic congeners (Ref. 113730).
Observed to be schooling in the very shallow waters of the rocky Parcel pools (Ref. 113730).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00539 - 0.03078), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
