Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 12 - 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 17 - 19; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 18 - 21. Upper lip edge generally partly crenulate; color note from description: females warm brown, paler on belly; head with a slight purplish tinge, darker on snout and lips; only a slight trace of crossbars; body with small, pale pearly spots, most numerous posteriorly; crest dark brown, thickly dotted with small pearly or bluish spots; pectorals dark brown; spinous dorsal fin dark brown with a series of large, oblique, oblong black spots, 1 on each membrane; second dorsal fin dark brown with numerous narrow, pale oblique streaks; caudal fin dark brown, appearing almost black; anal fin dark brown with darker margin; pelvic fins black. Males paler with pearly spots more distinct and more numerous anteriorly; head covered with small dusky spots; crest without white spots; large black spots only on first 2 membranes of dorsal fin. Anal soft rays rarely 18 or 21; segmented caudal rays 13-14 (typically 14) with middle 3-9 branched; lateral line pores 1-6 (Ref. 54980).

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); 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).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00335 - 0.01640), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
