Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-14; Anal soft rays: 13. Distinguished by the following characters D1 III, D2 12-14; A 13; pectoral 24-27; the first dorsal spine is slightly longer than the second one in both sexes, but not elongate; the second dorsal fin distally slightly convex in both sexes, with the male having very short distal filaments (none in females); sides of body with a group of 6-7 short transverse streaks below the anterior portion of the second dorsal fin, with a dark saddle each before the first dorsal fin base and behind the second dorsal fin base, and a dark area on the caudal peduncle and basal caudal fin extending as a short dorsal dark stripe on the proximal one-third of the caudal fin; anterior and posterior basal sections of second dorsal fin dusky in male, the vertical fins otherwise pale (Ref. 75990).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
