Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. Can be distinguished based on the following combination of the characters: scales on lateral line 31-33; head width 67-74% HL; head length 21-25% SL; eye diameter 25-30% HL; snout length 48-55% HL; absence of scales from its midventral region between pectoral fins; principal rays in the lower caudal-fin lobe 8; presence of a dark pigment blotch on the distal edge of the dorsal fin; presence of 2 or 3 dark, irregular vertical bars on the caudal fin; dorsal saddles extending 3-4 scales rows downwards from the dorsal surface, contacting the round to squarish dark blotches, arranged in a longitudinal row on flank; absence of a large post-epiphysial fontanelle; and dorsal fin with 9 rays (Ref. 79816).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00417 (0.00179 - 0.00969), b=3.17 (2.96 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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