Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 6; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 12-14; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 14. This species differs from its congeners by the following characters: mouth terminal and slightly oblique; upper pectoral fin base dusky, not dark; a large dark patch above the pectoral fin base on trunk just beneath nape, most distinct in males and large females; second dorsal fin with 13 elements, anal fin with 14 elements; the first and second dorsal fins are not broadly connected; small ctenoid scales on the body posteriorly, with cycloid scales limited to anteriormost portion of trunk, 50-73 in a lateral series; nape with many small scales; first gill arch with 8 thin rakers on ceratobranchial and 7 on epibranchial; third transverse suborbital row of free neuromasts on cheek extending dorsally above horizontal midcheek row ‘b’, usually to orbit; horizontal midcheek row ‘b’ not extending forward beyond third transverse suborbital row (Ref. 55435).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00499 - 0.01264), b=3.04 (2.91 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
