Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 26. Distinguished from other related species by the following combination of characters: second dorsal fin rays I, 8?9; anal fin rays I, 7?8; pectoral fin rays 16?18; longitudinal scale series 29?31; predorsal scales 10?12; vertebral count 10+16=26. Adult male can be diagnosed by the following features: absence of black spot on the first dorsal fin; presence of broad white band on each median fin; absence of pigmentation on cheek and branchiostegal membrane; and presence of 6?8 red blotches on body side (Ref. 83403).

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=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), 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): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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