Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Snout with a secondary rostrum, with proboscis about twice as wide as long, reflected downwards and in contact with snout along its inferior side (Ref. 43281). A well-developed tri-lobed rostrum; 10 gill rakers on lower arch of first arch; dark body with random scales lighter; (Ref. 12693). Dark brown body with 5-6 faint stripes and a large dark blotch on caudal peduncle (Ref. 43281).

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=0.00759 (0.00331 - 0.01740), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.3   ±0.19 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
