Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. It can be diagnosed from Lates calcarifer by the following characters: lesser body depth (26.6?27.6% SL, vs. 28.9?34.6% SL); 5 rows of scales between the base of the third dorsal-fin spine and lateral line (vs. 6); 31?34 serrae on the posterior edge of the preoperculum (vs. 16?26); third dorsal-fin spine 3.0?3.5 times the length of the second (vs. 2.1?2.8). It can be distinguished from Lates japonicus by having the third anal-fin spine longer (vs. shorter) than the second and possessing 5 (vs. 7) rows of scales between the base of the third dorsal-fin spine and the lateral line, a lesser body depth (26.6?27.6% SL, vs. 30.3?33.7% SL), and 47?52 (vs. 58?63) lateral-line scales. It differs from Lates uwisara by having a greater eye diameter (5.5?5.6% SL, vs. 4.4?4.7% SL), a lesser body depth (26.6?27.6% SL, vs. 28.4?34.5% SL), a shorter dorsal-fin base (41.1?43.2% SL, vs. 43.3?45.0% SL), and by possessing 5 (vs. 7) rows of scales between the base of the third dorsal-fin spine and lateral line (Ref. 90099).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5006   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00491 - 0.02235), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.6 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 (21 of 100).
