Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 14 - 15; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 12; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 8. Diagnosis: 15-19 gill rakers on first gill arch; no large spots on flanks; 4-6 bands or 2 rows of dark blotches and short horizontal lines usually visible when stressed; body depth 25.9-39.6%, mean 35.1% standard length; lachrymal depth 24.6-26.8% head length, mean 25.6% HL); base body coloration light brown to ochre; caudal fin rounded to slightly truncate in females, truncate or with some elongate rays in upper lobe (occasionally also in lower lobe) in males; males one third larger than females (Ref. 81260).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Omnivorous, preferring smaller particles including small fish, albeit rarely (Ref. 52307). Polygamous, ovophilic, female mouthbrooding species (Ref. 52307, 81260) that does not form pair bonds (Ref. 52307). Maximum TL was recorded at 16.5 cm (Ref. 5616).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
