Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Usually has dark spot (larger than pupil) on lateral line just behind gill opening.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 23.4 - 26.7, mean 24.7 °C (based on 121 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01064 - 0.04934), b=2.95 (2.78 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Referencia 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100). 🛈
