Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: lacks all cephalic sensory-canal pores; dorsal/anal fin-ray formula 8/8; some pectoral-fin rays are branched; rudimentary or no fifth pelvic-fin ray; 5 branches in fourth pelvic-fin ray; D1 crossed by two dark bands separated by a diagonal light band, a distinct dark spot on caudal peduncle anterior to caudal fin, followed by a pale bar and a yellow-orange broad wedge-shaped bar at caudal-fin base (Ref. 94952).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00286 - 0.01390), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 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 vulnerability (10 of 100) .
