Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 15 - 17; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7-9; Anal spines: 5-6; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7; Vertebrae: 26. Differs from all species of the genus by the following combination of characters: 5-6 anal-fin spines; 6-7 branched anal-fin rays; caudal peduncle length 8.9-11.8% of SL; lips not thickened; in preserved specimens lateral band formed by two series of scales, each scale bears a dark spot in the centrum, between both scales there is a light narrow area; dorsal, anal and caudal fins, and opercle without dark spots (Ref. 57794).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [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   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec<1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
