Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. This species is characterized by the following: a wide interorbital region (80-100% pupil diameter); the second dorsal spine usually reaching posteriorly to between the bases of the second to third dorsal fin rays; pectoral rays 15-16, usually with 7-8 branched rays; vertical rows of sensory papillae below eye of 2-3 papillae in rows 1-4 and 4-5 in row 5; caudal blotch which has a lower half about two-thirds the width of the upper half; usually an overall yellowish body with yellow at least proximally in the caudal fin (Ref. 87358).

Inhabits current-prone reefs in 12-70 m (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.7 - 28.9, mean 27.9 °C (based on 194 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

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