Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 4. This species is distinguished from all its congeners, except H. microstomus, H. margaritifer, H. roseopunctatus by the following set of characters: a few teeth on upper jaw (23-39 per premaxilla) and the pale dots over body (vs. having either larger number of teeth and/or dark spots on body); differs microstomus, roseopunctatus by having 23-39 slender teeth per premaxilla (vs. robust premaxillary teeth, 8-14 in microstomus and 6-16 in roseopunctatus); differs from H. margaritifer by having slender premaxillary teeth (vs. robust), by having a stouter body, head depth 68.1-75.1 % HL (vs. 52.6-66.7% HL), and by having the dorsal-fin spine shorter, its length similar to head length - dorsal-fin spine 57.9-84.9 % of predorsal length (vs. dorsal-fin spine clearly longer than head length and usually almost similar to predorsal length-dorsal-fin spine 71.4-111.1 % of predorsal length) (Ref. 124776).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Collected at the depth of approximately 30 meters over rocky bottom in areas with slow water flow (Ref. 124776).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00450 - 0.02327), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
