Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 85 - 94; Raggi anali molli: 64 - 69; Vertebre: 35 - 36. This species is distinguished by the following characters: caudal fin without the black blotches; the ocular-side pectoral fin with greatly elongate filament in both sexes; gill rakers are not serrate; upper jaw teeth biserial (Ref. 126076). Description. D 85-94, A 64-69, pectoral-fin rays on ocular side 10-12, on blind-side 9-11, caudal-fin rays 3 + 11 + 3; pelvic-fin rays on ocular-side 6, on blind-side 6, lateral line scales 44-48, gill rakers 0-3 + 8-11, vertebrae 10 + 25-26 (Ref. 126076).

Inhabits sand and mud bottoms.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.1 - 28.2, mean 26.8 °C (based on 294 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00408 - 0.02036), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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