Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 2 - ? cm
Max length : 8.1 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9962); 6.0 cm SL (female); common length : 6.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9962); common length :5.5 cm SL (female)
Spine dorsali (totale): 12 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 19-22; Spine anali 2; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 22; Vertebre: 38 - 40. Diagnosis: Dorsal fin XII to XIV, 19 to 22, notched between spinous and segmented-ray portions; anal fin II, 19-22; pectoral rays 13-15 (usually 14); pelvic fin I, 3; caudal fin procurrent rays 10-14, segmented rays 13. Vertebrae 11-12 + 27-29. Last pleural rib on 12-13th vertebrae. Orbital cirrus simple filamentous; nasal cirri short and simple to palmate with 2-6 branches; nape without cirri. Lateral line, continuous anterodorsally below dorsal spine 6-7th to 9-10th, disconnected posteroventrally up to below dorsal spine 12-13th. Mandibular pores 4-6. Lips margin entire. Occipital crest present, higher in males (Ref. 9962). Body depth at anal-fin origin 5.6-6.1 in SL (Ref. 90102). Males with dusky bands on body, each band with a vertical pair of oblong spots; dark spot behind eye and opercle (Ref. 4404). Females with faintly dusky bands on body overlain by dark lines that break up into dashes at posterior portion; dark spots on median fins (Ref. 4404).
Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Common length: females usually less than 5.5 cm, males usually more than 6.0 cm in SL (Ref. 9962).
