Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9; Vertebrae: 26. This species differs from its congeners in having the following set of characters: segmented dorsal- and anal-fin rays, 8 and 9, respectively; elongated body, its depth 13.5-15.5% of SL; males with greatly prolonged (extending beyond posterior end of base of second dorsal fin when appressed) and filamentous first dorsal-fin spine; anteroventral and/or distal parts of first dorsal fin may have small black spot(s) (smaller than pupil); small 3-6 black spots on second dorsal fin; dorsal margin of caudal fin with some narrow black markings, in addition to the blackened posterior margin (Ref. 75138).

Collected from fine-sandy bottom (Ref. 75138).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±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) .
