Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal soft rays: 14 - 17. It is distinguished with a yellow/orange stripe along the lateral midline, extending to the entire length of the caudal fin; D2 I,14-16; A I,14-17; P 18-20. The vomer has no teeth. Body scales are absent except for a few cycloid scales (2-3) at the base of the caudal fin. Absence of intraorbital pore C; paired intraorbital pores D; and eye diamater 7-9% SL (Ref. 128886).

Found in deep reefs, schooling at the top or bottom of vertical walls, with a stretch of sand and small rocks, at depths of 88 to 201 meters. The largest specimens were 2.22 cm for males and 2.15 cm for females (Ref. 128886).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 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).
