Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Pectoral fin with 14-16 rays; males with several short bars on flank, mostly on lower half; females with 3-4 short bars on flank, mostly on lower half (Ref. 59043); body shape is terete, slightly depressed; eyes situated dorso-laterally; reduced swim bladders (Ref. 92840).

Found on sand and gravel in 7 m (Ref. 4696, 92840), muddy sand bottom in 10 m and rock sand ecotone in 14 m; meiofauna feeder; live together with G.geniporus, prefers benthic prey as well as fish and suprabenthic like harticoids and ostracods. (Ref. 92840). Max. length (Robert A. Patzner, pers. comm., 1999).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.5 - 19.8, mean 18.9 °C (based on 311 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00286 - 0.01601), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.34 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming fec < 10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
