Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 15 - 17; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 14 - 16; Vertebre: 30 - 31. Light tan to brown in color; caudal fin dusky, other fins clear (Ref. 4412). Teeth patches on midline of roof of mouth and tongue large, broad and granular (sometimes partly obscured by mucous) (Ref 9834).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.7 - 19, mean 12.7 (based on 823 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00387 - 0.01962), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tmax>4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
