Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 16; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 14; Vertebrae: 23. This species in distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: a conspicuously deep lower jaw with a strongly concave profile, sharply pointed ventrally (vs. slightly concave or straight lower jaw profile); black dorsal-fin marking is restricted to the anterior edge of the fin, with some scattered melanophores in the dorsal-fin membrane (vs. a large blotch over a larger area on the dorsal fin or an no markings) (Ref. 75067).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.00823 - 0.04215), b=2.97 (2.78 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±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).
