Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 15. Distinguished from its congeners, except for P. carnosus and P. fumosus, by the presence of an enlarged and prominent process of the post-temporal (the "supraclavicular process" of previous authors), which is almost as long as the post-cleithral process; the presence of long hair-like epithelial projections on the skin and long tubular extensions of the sensory pores. Differs from P. carnosus and P. fumosus in having a more slender body (13.0-14.5%SL vs. 14.9-16.7) and possessing lighter colored patches on the body. It further differs from P. carnosus in having a rounded (vs. pointed) tip of the nuchal shield, and from P. fumosus in having less developed procurrent caudal rays that are evenly sloping along the anterior edges (Ref. 54514).

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=0.00832 (0.00384 - 0.01800), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 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).
