Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: 17-18 pectoral rays; 36-38 (modally 37) lateral scale rows; upper jaw length 10.3-10.7% SL; anterior extent of predorsal squamation reaching anteriorly to vertical through posterior margin of preopercle, with a few scales sometimes extending slightly beyond this point; with 2-3 dark blotches on each element of first dorsal fin giving appearance of 2-3 longitudinal stripes across fin; lower body with 2 rows of dark spots, spots in 2 rows directly above one another, beginning immediately behind pectoral fin base and terminating just anterior to dark blotch at base of caudal fin; upper and lower spots more distinctly separate from one another anteriorly, becoming closer to one another and loosely connected posteriorly; arrangement of spots appearing as 6 to 7 sets of vertically paired spots often forming '=' shaped markings along ventral portion of trunk (Ref. 85559).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

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=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
