Etymology: Hoplostethus: Greek, hoplon = weapon + Greek, stetho, stethion = brest; literal = to prick a little breast (Ref. 45335); robustispinus: Name from the combination of the Latin robustus, meaning strong, and spinus, for spine, in reference to the extremely thickened fin spines (Ref. 84133).

Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 6; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 14; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 9; Vertebre: 27. Hoplostethus robustispinus has extremely thickened fin spines, 56 digitiform pyloric caeca, a bright red body, fins with no black pigment in any fin membranes, no silvery flanks, a long trunk (VA distance is greater than almost all other species) and eyes more dorsally placed, with the upper margin dorsal to preopercular ridges and level with the post-temporal spine (Ref. 84133).

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=0.01660 (0.00723 - 0.03808), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
