Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
This species is distinguished from its congeners (asellus, psittacus) by the following characters: basal pterygiophores 6-7 and anal-fin rays 9 (vs. 10-11 for both its congeners); basal pterygiophores and dorsal-fin rays 10 (vs. 11); an opercle with a posterior ventral border subdivided in a ventral and a posterior region, the herein called ‘‘inverted V’’ shape (vs. triangular opercle); differs from C. asellus by the absence of dermal flaps across the chin (vs. uniquely present in C. asellus); caudal peduncle with 8 vertebrae (Ref. 122317).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01193 - 0.05536), b=2.88 (2.71 - 3.05), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
