Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-12; Anal soft rays: 14 - 17; Vertebrae: 39 - 41. This species is distinguished by the following characters: the second anal-fin ray in males in which segment five is greatly elongate, comprising one half of the ray; spiculus is thick, unsegmented distally; it is offset dorsally at about one fourth its length, with distal tip pointed ventrally (Ref. 44897).

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=0.00457 (0.00200 - 0.01044), b=3.03 (2.83 - 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).
