Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished from its Sundaic congeners except G. platypogon in having a convex (vs. straight) dorsoposterior margin of the adipose fin; differs from G. platypogon in having a longer pectoral-fin spine 19.4-22.9% SL (vs. 13.6-17.9) and a longer caudal fin 26.9-30.7% SL (vs. 20.1-27.0). It is further distinguished from its Sundaic congeners by the following unique characters: eye diameter 7-11% HL; head width 18.8-20.4% SL; no anteromedial striae in thoracic adhesive apparatus; predorsal length 36.4-41.3% SL; dorsal-fin spine length 16.0-20.1% SL; margin of dorsal fin concave; dorsal-to-adipose distance 18.4-22.5% SL; body depth at anus 14.0-15.8% SL; adipose-fin base length 13.6-17.2% SL; post-adipose distance 15.2-16.7% SL; caudal peduncle depth 7.7-8.8% SL; premaxillary toothband partially exposed when mouth is closed; uniformly dark body with neither contrasting markings nor prominent pale midlateral stripe (Ref. 128699).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00369 - 0.01791), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 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).
