Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: (1) meristic characters: dorsal fin rays XII, 18–20; gill rakers 10–12 + 16–17 (26–29); tubed lateral-line scales 55–57; transverse scale rows above lateral line 10–11; transverse scale rows below lateral line
17–18; circumpeduncular scales 30–31; (2) morphometric characters: base of soft portion
of dorsal fin 27.6–29.4% of SL; orbit diameter 25.5–30.1% of HL; caudal peduncle length 19.2–21.3% of SL; (3) Color pattern: head and body unicolor without markings, the posterior part of the opercular membrane grey; uppermost first to third pectoral-fin rays light grey

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00670 - 0.02842), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
