Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 10-11; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 15. Diagnosis: body depth 3.8-4.8x and head length 3.5-4.0x SL; eye diameter 2.8-3.8x head length; scale formula 7.5/39-43/4.5; 7.5 scales between lateral line and dorsal fin origin; 39-43 scales in longitudinal series; 14 scales around caudal peduncle; 8 dorsal-fin branched rays; 10-12 anal-fin branched rays (Ref. 2940, 81282).
Affinities: meristic characters close to R. nigeriensis (with more number of branched rays; shorter head length and mouth). Maximum TL was recorded at 15.5 cm (Ref. 2801).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00282 - 0.01229), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
