Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 17 - 19; Vertebrae: 46 - 49. Olyra saginata can be diagnosed from all species of the genus Olyra by the possession of the following unique combination of characters: interorbital distance 27.9-35.9% HL; 54-66 pored lateral line scales; body depth at anus 10.5-12.0% SL; length of adipose-fin base 17.3-22.4% SL; adipose fin separate from upper principal caudal-fin rays; post-adipose distance 11.8-14.3% SL; caudal peduncle length 14.8-17.7% SL; and caudal peduncle depth 7.8-8.9% SL (Ref. 96386).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00384 - 0.01800), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
