Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 35 - 38; Anal soft rays: 34 - 38; Vertebrae: 27. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: low number of total dorsal-fin elements, 41?44 (mean = 43.3) and anal-fin elements, 34?38 (mean = 36.3); with a short body, head length (HL)/SL 0.169?0.182 (mean = 0.175), preanal length (Preanal)/SL 0.391?0.449 (mean = 0.421), and body depth (BD)/SL 0.062?0.098 (mean = 0.082); barbels on ventral surface of head in a 2-4-2 pattern (Ref. 120675).
Reported to be an inshore burrower found in muddy benthos (Ref. 120675).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00196 - 0.01016), b=2.98 (2.78 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
