Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 95; Anal soft rays: 80. Soleichthys multifasciatus differs from Soleichthys dori by having scales on fins of the blind side beginning on the posterior third of the fins (vs. anteriorly on S.
dori); the inside of the mouth not black (vs. finely dotted with melanophores) (Ref. 79000).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00466 - 0.02049), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 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.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
