Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

The predorsal area and the base of the pectoral fins are fully covered with scales. In males, the first three rays of the first dorsal fin are significantly elongated. Both the second dorsal fin and the anal fin have nine branched rays each. The pectoral fins have 18-19 rays. It has 26 scales in a longitudinal row and six in a transverse row. The cheek displays a distinct pattern of genipores.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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