Mulliformes (Goatfishes) >
Mullidae (Goatfishes)
Etymology: Upeneus: Greek, ypene, -es = upper lip (Ref. 45335); brevignathus: Name refers to the jaw length being rather short in this species compared to others such as the relatively similar U. pori.
Taxonomic Remarks
FishBase common name changed from Shortjaw goatfish to Shortjaw goatfish (Uiblein et al., 2024: Ref. 130857).

Dorsal fins VII + 9; pectoral fins 14-15; gill rakers 7-8 + 21-22 = 28-30; lateral-line scales 29-30; body moderately elongate; measurements as % SL: body depth at first dorsal-fin origin 23-24; body depth at anal-fin origin 20-22; cau- dal-peduncle depth 9.5-9.7; caudal-peduncle width 4.0-4.1; maximum head depth 17; head depth through eye 14; head length 27; snout length 10; orbit length 6.3; upper-jaw length 9.3-9.5; barbel length 18; caudal-fin length 28; anal-fin
height 16-17; pelvic-fin length 20; pectoral-fin length 19-20; pectoral-fin width 4.4-4.5; first dorsal-fin height 18-19; dor- sal-fin spines proportionally decreasing in height; second dorsal-fin height 16; caudal fin of preserved fish with at least 9 total oblique bars, upper caudal-fin lobe with 5 dark-grey bars of about pupil width, the four most proximal bars vari- ably curved, no bar on lobe tip; lower caudal-fin lobe with at least 4 dark-grey bars of pupil width or wider, three bars from ventral margin to about mid-lobe, one at lobe tip; dor- sal fins with three grey stripes; barbels pale; body and head from snout tip dark brown-grey dorsally, pale brown ven- trally from eye level; head with a vertically oriented silvery band behind eye that widens below eye and gill cover sil- very or pale-beige silvery; no indication of mid-lateral body stripe; paired and anal fins pale-brown, partly hyaline
The habitat is most probably shallow bottom of the upper shelf reached by traditional artisanal (Ref. 130857).
