Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 57 - 63; Anal soft rays: 43 - 46; Vertebrae: 29 - 30. Diagnosed from all congeners by the following characters: ocular-side lower lip with short fimbriae with one or two branches; 57-63 dorsal-fin rays; 43-46 anal-fin rays; 5 pelvic-fin rays; body depth in SL 51.1-55.0%; brownish ocular side with irregular paler or darker patches; 8 or fewer, faintly pigmented, transverse chromatophore lines on the ocular-side of the body; absence of cirri on the scaleless area surrounding the ocular-side anterior naris; not numerous long fleshy tentacles on the blind side of the head (vs. numerous in Trinectes paulistanus ); and absence of rays in the ocular-side pectoral fin (Ref. 91752).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00575 - 0.03165), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.5 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.
