Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10; Vertebrae: 18. Distinguished by the having the following characters: usually VI-I, 9 dorsal fins, larger male with pointed first dorsal fin with elongate spines 4 and 5, posterior tip of the fin usually extending to base of soft-rays 2-5 of second dorsal fin; 14-16 (mode 15) pectoral-fin rays; 32-56 premaxillary teeth, 29-61 horizontal dentary teeth; males with nine blackish obscure transverse bars laterally on tail and clear black spots distributed over almost entire rays of pectoral fin, number of spots on the longest ray 5-10; females with two black, straight and simple longitudinal bands laterally on body, often with 1-4 black spots on second dorsal-fin rays, 2-5 black transverse bars on central part of caudal fin, and 1-7 black spots on pectoral-fin rays (Ref. 90214).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
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).
