Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 34 - 41. Belly with 17 (rarely 28) + 9 = 26 or 27 (rarely 28) keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla long, reaching beyond base of first pectoral fin ray; first supra-maxilla small, oval. A dark blotch behind upper part of gill opening.
Presumably schooling, perhaps mainly in inshore waters. More data needed based on correct identifications. This species is probably hidden in various synonymies, chiefly those of T. hamiltoni which it resembles superficially.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00189 - 0.00667), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 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).
