Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. A species of Trimma with a yellow head, a grey-brown body, and a distinct oval dark spot above and just anterior to the posterodorsal corner of the operculum. This spot is preceded by a shallow groove which extends along the dorsal margin of the operculum. No predorsal scales, posterior half of the nape with a slightly developed longitudinal ridge in the midline, scales present on either side of the ridge with a narrow scaleless gap between them; slight interorbital trench which extends posteriorly barely beyond mid pupil, no postorbital trench; fifth pelvic fin ray unbranched and 50-70% of the length of the fourth (Ref. 52310).

Solitary or in small groups in caves and ledges. Also found in steep seaward slopes in 10-40 m (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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).
