Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11-12; Anal soft rays: 16 - 18; Vertebrae: 41 - 42. This species can be diagnosed from all congeners in Turkey and adjacent waters by the following combination of characters (none unique to the species): a well developed and generally scaleless ventral keel between pelvic and anal fins; body depth at dorsal-fin origin 31-36% SL; caudal-peduncle depth 12-13% SL and 1.5-1.7 times in SL; predorsal length 56-60% SL; dorsal-fin origin approximately vertical to mid-point pelvic-anal distance; mouth terminal, the tip of mouth cleft between level of middle of pupil and lower margin of pupil; snout with slightly pointed tip; 37-43 + 1-2 scales on lateral line, 9-10 scale rows between lateral-line and dorsal-fin origin, 4-5 scale rows between lateral-line and anal fin origin; anal fin with 13½-15½ branched rays; pharyngeal teeth 4.2-2.5, markedly hooked; total vertebrae 41-42 with mode of 41, comprising 20-21 with mode of 21 abdominal and 20-21 with mode of 20 caudal vertebrae; dark grey stripe slightly distinct in anterior part of body but clearly distinct in posterior part of body, its width greater than eye diameter; pigmentation of lateral-line distinct along lateral-line in anterior part of body but slightly distinct in posterior part of body (Ref. 94737).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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=0.00741 (0.00333 - 0.01648), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±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).
