Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: gill rakers 33-37 (35) in first gill arch with 14-16 (modally 14) in upper series, 19-21 (21) in lower series; gill rakers 26-29 (29) in second gill arch, with 8-11 (10) in upper and 16-19 (19) in lower series; gill rakers 17-19 (19) in third gill arch with 7-8 (8) in upper and 10-11 (10) in lower series; gill rakers 14-16 (14) in fourth gill arch with 5-8 (6) in upper and 8-9 (8) in lower series; branchiostegal rays 10-11 (11); upper jaw long, posterior tip slightly short of or just reaching posterior border of opercle; without predorsal scutes; pelvic scute no spine-like projection; posterior border of preopercle is indented, concave; posterior tip of depressed pelvic fin does not reaching to vertical through dorsal-fin origin; anal-fin origin just below eighth to tenth dorsal-fin ray origin; length of caudal peduncle, 16.9-19.9% of SL, of pectoral fin, 13.2-14.4% of SL and of pelvic fin, 7.4-8.9% of SL. Colouration: with a pair of dark patches behind occiput without a following pair of dark lines; absence of black spots below eye or on lower-jaw tip (Ref. 124189).

Schooling species occurring in coastal waters (Ref. 189, 75154). Eggs are oval, without a knob. More material and data needed.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 27.7 - 29.2, mean 28.6 °C (based on 838 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00259 - 0.01222), b=3.18 (3.00 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 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).
