Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 74-85; Raggi anali molli: 60 - 69; Vertebre: 43 - 45. The species is characterized by the following: vertebrae 11+32-34=43-45, dorsal fin rays 74-85 (mostly >77), anal fin rays 60-69, D/V 6 (rarely 7); large eyes (2.1-3.4% SL); outer pseudoclasper with broad hook-shaped extension, with rounded tip, slightly bent outwards; inner pseudoclasper short, joined to outer pseudoclasper anteriorly, supporter with anteriorly oriented small hook, and with a wide thin flap at posterior-distal margin; scale patch on cheek with 7-9 scale rows on upper cheek, many scales on operculum above opercular spin (7-16 scales in 2-4 rows), in very large specimens additional scale patch below opercular spine (4-12); head profile is moderately slender; otolith length sulcus length 1.9-2.0, sulcus slightly inclined (Ref. 57884).

Rare species, found on coral-sand bottom (Ref. 34024). Benthic (Ref. 75154). Cryptic and solitary (Ref 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.1 - 29.3, mean 28.6 (based on 1516 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming Fec < 100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
