Largest and most scaled Stenogobius; scales in horizontal series 52 to 62; cheek scaled; opercle scaled; predorsal midline 22 to 32 scales; belly anteriorly scaled; breast scaled; markings and patterns over body vary from one drainage to next; specimens retain juvenile markings to relatively large size with sexual papilla not developed though distinguishable (Ref. 34009).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
