Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is characterized by the following: suborbital bones 5; suborbital canal with 6-8 small pores; first epibranchial fan-shaped; palatopterygoid series reduced; supraoccipital broadly contacting exoccipital; posttemporal with weak ventral ramus; upper lip continuous at symphysis; palatine teeth, pelvic fins, and scales present; incomplete lateral line with only a few free neuromasts or, if present, its configuration mediolateral, absent on posterior half of body; vertebrae 18-22 + 78-83=97-104; oval and pale spots arranged along ventral half of body (Ref. 58361).

Occurs in the littoral zone influenced by brackish waters; collected from under stones exposed at low tide. Female individuals collected contained ripe eggs (diameter ca 3 mm); 41-73 eggs (Ref. 55721).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00110 (0.00042 - 0.00288), b=3.09 (2.86 - 3.32), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100) .
